1‐(Benzotriazol‐1‐yl)alkyl esters 2a‐u were obtained in yields averaging 86% by the direct reaction of various aldehydes with the corresponding N‐acylbenzotriazoles in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium carbonate (10–25 mole %). The procedure was optimized by evaluating the effects of solvent, catalyst, temperature and other parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
