Abstract
1-(Triorganoplumbyl)-1,2,3-benzotriazoles were synthesized in excellent yields by the cleavage of an organic group from tetraorganolead derivatives with 1-chloro-1,2,3-benzotriazole in benzene at 50–60°. The order of ease of cleavage of organic groups by 1-chloro-l,2,3-benzotriazole in the case of mixed-tetraorganolead compounds is discussed.
