Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenation of o-nitrophenylazohydroxyaryls in an alkaline medium yields hydroxyarylbenzotriazoles; under mild conditions an N-oxide is formed. E.g., 6-tert-butyl-2-(5'-chloro-2'-nitrophenylazo)-p-cresol is hydrogenated to 5-chloro-2-(3'-tert-butyl-2'-hydroxy-5'-methylphenyl)benzotriazole, using platinum sulfide catalyst in the presence of sodium hydroxide: ##STR1## IN THIS CASE A in the starting chemical is 5-chloro, n is 1, Ar is a phenyl nucleus, m is 2, one B is 6-tertbutyl and the other B is 4-methyl; in the product x is zero. Chemicals useful for various purposes, including the stabilization of polymeric materials (e.g., polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride) against light, may be made by the process.
