Benzotriazole-Mediated Synthesis of Oxygen-Containing Heterocycles

Abstract

This review aims at delivering an overview of the synthetic utility of benzotriazole and its derivatives for the preparation of oxygen-containing heterocycles. This review serves both as a synthetic guide and as a theoretical handbook of benzotriazole-assisted preparations of oxygen heterocycles and offers a complete overview of existing applications for benzotriazole and its derivatives in heterocyclic synthesis. Multiple examples reveal the superiority of benzotriazole-based approaches over conventional ones.
