N-Formylbenzotriazole

CAS 72773-04-7, Cat. No EN300-3450927

Reagent for O/N-formylation

N-Formylbenzotriazole is a common O/N-formylation reagent, that is easy to use. It is a very stable white solid, capable of formylation of wide scope of substances. This reagent can formylate both aliphatic and aromatic amines in good yields at room temperature and even deactivated aromatic amines, such as nitroanilines, can be formylated with heating. O-Formylation of primary alcohols and aromatic alcohols can be done in good yields without heating, but secondary and tertiary require heating for the reaction to be completed. The N-solution, which makes the purification process is simple and clean.

Synonyms: 1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole-1-carbaldehyde; N-formylbenzotriazole; 1-Formylbenzotriazol
