“…Photolysis of 1-substituted benzotriazoles 1a,b to indoles and benzimidazoles However, literature survey indicated that little investigation have been made on thermolytic and/or photolytic behavior of 1-alkenyl-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles (Boyer & Silvarajan, 1969;Burgess, Carithers, & McCullagh, 1968;Michell & Rees, 1987;Ogata, Takaji, & Hayashi, 1977;Silvarajan & Boyer, 1972;Wender & Cooper, 1969). In the light of the established pharmaceutical activity of 3-dimethylaminopyrrole which is reported as an analgesics and anticonvulsants agent (Bellina & Rossi, 2006;Rochais, Lisowski, Dallemagne, & Rault, 2004; Liebscher et al, 1992) we became interested in developing photoinduced synthetic route to such compounds via photolysis of suitably 1-substituted-1,2,3-triazole.…”
