Abstract
The synthesis of 2(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-vinyl-2H-benzotriazole was accomplished in seven steps starting from 4-ethylaniline. Acetylation and nitration followed by hydrolysis gave 2-nitro-4-cthylaniline which was diazotized, condensed with p-cresol, and reduced to 2(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-ethyl-2H-benzotriazole. As in previous cases, the ethyl group was transformed to the vinyl compound by bromination with N-bromosuccinimide and dehydrobromination of the 1-bromoethyl compound. Monomer grade 2(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-vinyl-2H-benzotriazole was polymerized and copolymerized with styrene, methyl methacrylate, and n-butyl acrylate.
