Abstract

Abstract Thiourea S, S-dioxide (formamidinesulfinic acid) reacts with o-nitrophenylazo dyes in ethanolic alkali to give, depending on the reaction conditions, either the corresponding 2- aryl-2H-benzo-triazoles or their 1-oxides. The reagent is particularly effective for preparing in high yield 2-(2'H-benzotriazol-2'-yl) phenols, which are important ultraviolet absorbers. The corresponding reductions involving ammonium sulfide and sodium dithionite were also ...
