Abstract

Gas-phase pyrolysis (static and FVP) of 1-aroylbenzotriazoles gave the corresponding substituted benzoxazole, benzimidazole, benzamide, N-phenylbenzamide, phenanthridin-6 (5H)-one derivatives and 1-cyanocyclopentadiene. The present kinetic and mechanistic findings also provide further evidence of the involvement of biradical or carbene reactive intermediates in the reaction pathway of gas-phase pyrolysis of benzotriazoles.
