Description

1-Chloromethyl-1H-benzotriazole is a water soluble organometallic compound that has been used in wastewater treatment. It is an active methylene that binds to palladium complexes, which are catalysts for the hydrogenation of organic compounds. The x-ray crystal structures for 1-chloromethyl-1H-benzotriazole show that it can form a coordination complex with palladium(II). This complex is nucleophilic and reacts with chloride to form the corresponding chloro complex. The quaternization of 1-chloromethyl-1H benzotriazole is a reaction where one molecule of hydrogen chloride reacts with the methylene group to produce a tertiary amine, which yields chloride as a byproduct. The structural analysis and NMR spectra confirm the presence of protonated chlorine atoms in the molecule.
