Benzotriazole is a heterocyclic compound with the formula C6H4N3H. This aromatic is a commonly used corrosion inhibitor. It is a colourless solid that is soluble in polar solvents, including water. Benzotriazoles are also a class of compounds containing the benzotriazole skeleton.
Structure and synthesis
Benzotriazole is classified as an 1,2,3-triazole, i.e. a cyclic compound with the linkage -N=N-NH-. Benzotriazole features two fused rings.
Benzotriazole is produced by reaction of o-phenylenediamine, sodium nitrite and acetic acid. The conversion proceeds via diazotization of one of the amine groups.[3] 600px
Uses
Benzotriazole is a complexing agent and as such is a useful a corrosion inhibitor, e.g. for silver protection in dishwashing detergents and an anti-fog agent in photographic development. Aircraft deicer and anti-icer fluid contain benzotriazole. Benzotriazole derivatives are found in pharmaceuticals such as antifungal, antibacterial, and anthelmintic drugs.
Environmental relevance
Benzotriazole is fairly water-soluble, not readily degradable and has a limited sorption tendency. Hence, it is only partly removed in wastewater treatment plants and a substantial fraction reaches surface water such as rivers and lakes.[4]
