One-Pot Process For The Preparation Of 5-Sulfonyl-Substituted Benzotriazoles Uv Absorbers

US Patent:
6040455, Mar 21, 2000
Filed:
Jan 21, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/234879
Inventors:
Mervin G. Wood - Poughquag NY
William Wiggins - Mobile AL
Catherine Blake - Saraland AL
Albert Carpenter - Mobile AL
Wha Chen - Freemont CA
Assignee:
Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation - Tarrytown NY
International Classification:
C07D24920
US Classification:
548259
Abstract:
5-Sulfonyl substituted benzotriazole UV absorbers are prepared from the corresponding 5-chlorobenzotriazole in a two step, but one-pot process where the second step involves the oxidation of the non-isolated 5-thio substituted benzotriazole using sodium tungstate, hydrogen peroxide and formic acid. The 5-sulfonyl substituted benzotriazoles exhibit enhanced absorption in the near-visible range (over 350 nm) thus providing effective protection to substrates in this critical area of the spectrum.
