A new protocol for the synthesis of primary, secondary and tertiary anthranilamides utilizing N-(2-aminoarylacyl)benzotriazoles

Abstract

A convenient route for efficient conversion of unprotected anthranilic acids into the corresponding N-(2-aminoarylacyl)benzotrazoles is described. N-(2-Aminoarylacyl)benzotrazoles have been successfully used to synthesize primary, secondary and tertiary anthranilamides in high yields (71-96%).
