HBTU is a standard coupling agent commonly used for the activation of free carboxylic acids during the solution and solid phase peptide synthesis. 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) plays a significant role in reducing the racemization during peptide synthesis; hence it is regularly used as a coupling additive. Here, we are reporting the mild and facile conjugate addition of HOBt to E-vinylogous γ-a...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(21)H(17)Cl(2)N(3)O, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules with similar conformations. The benzotriazole ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 30.61 (5) and 43.36 (5)°, respectively, to the phenyl and dichloro-phenyl rings in one mol-ecule, and 32.25 (5) and 41.04 (5)° in the other. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and dichlo...

The base-catalyzed Michael addition of 2-methyl-acryl-amide to benzotriazole afforded 3-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-2-methyl-propanamide, C10H12N4O (1), in 32% yield in addition to small amounts of isomeric 3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-2-methyl-propanamide, C10H12N4O (2). In a similar manner, 3-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N-di-methyl-propanamide, C11H14N4O (3), was prepared from benzotriazole and N,N-di-me...

Benzotriazole (BTAH) has been used as a copper corrosion inhibitor since the 1950s; however, the molecular level detail of how inhibition occurs remains a matter of debate. The onset of BTAH adsorption on a Cu(111) single crystal was investigated via scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), vibrational spectroscopy (RAIRS) and supporting DFT modelling. BTAH adsorbs as anionic (BTA(-)), CuBTA is a ...

Electrochemical investigations of 1,2,4-triazole and benzotriazole in aqueous acidic media has been carried out by cyclic voltammetric measurements. Cyclic voltammetric experiments were carried on glassy carbon (GC) working electrode. Effect of potential scan rate, pH of the solution and use of different surfactant on the electrochemical behavior has been investigated. Single reduction wave was...

2-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole (1) has been synthesized in a three step procedure starting from 2,4-dimethyl-N-(2-nitrophenyl)benzamide via a 5-(2,4- dimethylphenyl)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazole intermediate. Its structure and those of Tinuvin P and 2-phenyl-2H-benzotriazole (5) have been studied by multinuclear NMR (1H-, 13C- and 15N-) in solution and in the solid state. X-ray diffr...

Measurements of microwave attenuation at room temperature and 4.2 K have been performed on some conductors commonly used in receiver input circuits. The reduction in loss on cooling is substantial, particularly for copper and plated gold, both of which showed a factor of 3 loss reduction. Copper passivated with benzotriazole shows the same loss as without passivation. The residual resistivity r...

In the title compound, C(15)H(13)N(5), the N-containing heterocycles are linked by an ethyl-ene spacer in a gauche conformation, the N-C-C-C torsion angle along the linker being 60.1 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the terminal benzotriazole and benzimidazole rings is 39.02 (6)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming an infinite chain along the c ax...
