Facile Synthesis of Benzotriazole Derivatives Using Nanoparticles of Organosilane-Based Nitrite Ionic Liquid Immobilized on Silica and Two Room-Temperature Nitrite Ionic Liquids

Abstract

Nanoparticles of organosilane-based nitrite ionic liquid immobilized on silica, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrite, and 1-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-3-methylimidazolium nitrite were used as effective reagents for the preparation of benzotriazole derivatives from 1,2-diaminobenzenes at room temperature under mild solvent-free conditions. These ionic liquids play as nitrosonium sources in this procedure.1,2-Diaminobenzene derivatives have been treated with ionic liquids to give the related diaminobenzenes in very good to excellent yields in short reaction times.
