Benzotriazole as a synthetic auxiliary

Benzotriazole is a very useful synthetic auxiliary with versatile applications in organic chemis¬try. We have used benzotriazole in the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds (benzoxazine, quinazoline, triazinetrione, hydantoin, oxadiazine and diazepane derivatives), amino acid derivatives, car¬bamates, ureas, semicarbazides, carbazides, sulfonylureas, sulfonylcarbazides, hydantoic acids, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) and primaquine derivatives, polymer-drug and thiomer-drug conjugates. The results have been published in more than 30 papers and here we give an overview of all syntheses
