Ethylaryl- and diethylaryl(benzotriazol-1-yl)methanes, obtained by mono- or dialkylation of substituted (benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)benzenes, react with sodium alkoxides, phenol and thiophenol to yield the corresponding α-di- and α-trisubstituted ethers and sulfides. With amines, instead of nucleophile displacement, products arising from reduction or elimination are formed.
