Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.85 parts of 6-[phenyl(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-benzotriazol-1-ol, 1.4 parts of potassium carbonate and 27.5 parts of dimethyl sulfoxide was stirred for 30 minutes at 50° C. After cooling, 3.55 parts of ethyl 2-bromoacetate were added and the whole was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Another portion of 1.4 parts of potassium carbonate was added. After stirring for 3 hours at 50° C., the mixture was cooled and 2.0 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid were added. The dimethyl sulfoxide layer was evaporated. The residue was taken up in 25 parts of water and 130 parts of dichloromethane. The separated organic layer was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane, methanol and methanol, saturated with ammonia, (92:4:4 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 20 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 4.4 parts (79.6%) of 5-[phenyl(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-benzotriazole; mp. 182.7° C. (compound 230).
