Abstract
Reductive cyclization of 2-[(2-nitrophenyl)azophenols 1 with benzyl alcohol and sodium hydroxide afforded 2-(2H-benzotriazol- 2-yl)phenols 3 and their 1-oxide 2 in good to excellent yields.Benzotriazole derivatives serve as important precursor for the construction of heterocyclic ring systems.1-6 Many of them have significant pharmaceutical activities.7-9 The others have been used as building block for the preparation of UV light absorbers.10-14
For the preparation of benzotriazole derivatives, the most frequently used method is the reductive cyclization of o-nitroazobenzene derivatives (Scheme 1). The following reducing agents have been used: powdered zinc and NaOH in an aqueous MeOH,15 hydrazine hydrate in the presence of NaOH,16,17 catalytic hydrogenation over palladium on charcoal18-21 or platinum sulfide on carbon22 or on modified Raney Nickel,23,24 with electrolytic reduction at a mercury electrode,25 and formamidine sulfinic acid, and baker’s yeast.27
The corresponding N-oxide 2 was an intermediate of the above reaction and could be prepared by the reduction of o-nitroazobenzene with glucose in alcoholic NaOH,28 or with a mixture of sodium hydrosulfide and NaOH in toluene and water,29 or with hydrazine hydrate in aqueous MeOH containing 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone.30 The method using baker’s yeast is also applicable for the preparation of N-oxide.27
In the course of developing novel scaffolds for medicinal and light absorbers application, we found that 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles 2, 3 could be prepared from o-nitroazobenzene 1 without using any of the above listed reducing agents. Here we report in full experimental details of the new procedure and the related spectral data.
Our preparations of compounds 2 and 3 were based on the reducing properties of benzyl alcohol under basic condition. Treatment of a solution of azo compound 1a in benzyl alcohol with NaOH at 80 °C afforded rather fast formation of the corresponding N-oxide 2a and after 1.5 h this compound was isolated in good yield (Table 1, entry 1). However, when the reaction was performed at 150 °C, the initially formed N-oxide was transformed into benzotriazole 3a which was then isolated in excellent yield (entry 2).
To explore the scope and versatility of this method the effect of various substituents on the benzotriazole skeleton and on the phenyl group were investigated.
As it can be seen in Table 1, neither the substitution of the benzotriazole (entries 7-12 and 13-16), nor the substituent of the phenyl group (entries 3-6, 9-12, and 13-16) affected significantly the yield of the reductive cyclization. In all cases, we got good or excellent yields.
In the above reactions benzyl alcohol acts as reducing agent. Namely, the process starts with single electron transfer from the oxygen to the nitro group and then proceeds according to the known reduction reactions of this group.
In summary, we have demonstrated that 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles can be prepared conveniently from readily available o-nitroazobenzene without using expensive reducing agents. This new method has the potential to be used in the synthesis of many other derivatives of benzotriazoles.
EXPERIMENTAL
Mps were determined on a Büchi apparatus and are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded on Bruker Alpha FT Spectrophotometer. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker DRX-500 spectrometer. All NMR spectra are reported in ppm relative to TMS. Merck precoated silica gel 60 F254 plates were used for TLC and Kieselgel 60 for column chromatography. A hexane-acetone 5:2 (v/v) mixture was used for TLC.
Preparation of N-oxides 2; General Procedure
To a stirred solution of 1 (16 mmol) in freshly distilled benzyl alcohol (60 mL) was added pulverized NaOH (0.7 g, 18 mmol) and the resulting mixture was heated with stirring at the temperature and for the time given in Table 1. After cooling, water was added (25 mL), the mixture was acidified by the addition of 2N aqueous HCl and then extracted with CH2Cl2 (3x25 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), concentrated in vacuum and the residue was dried under IR lamp.
Preparation of Benzotriazoles 3; General Procedure
To a stirred solution of 1 (20 mmol) in freshly distilled benzyl alcohol (60 mL) was added NaOH powder (1.4 g, 35 mmol) and the resultant mixture was heated with stirring at the temperature and for the time given in Table 1. Evaporation of benzyl alcohol under reduced pressure provided a residue which was treated with water. The solids were collected by filtration and then washed successively with water and EtOH.
