General Procedure for the Synthesis of Benzotriazole Analogues of the CJ Compounds
To a stirred solution of azide (0.3 mmol) in MeCN (6 mL) was added CsF (0.6 mmol, 2 equiv) and 18-crown-6 (0.6 mmol, 2 equiv), and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 15 min. A solution of benzyne precursor 39 (0.6 mmol,
2 equiv) in MeCN (2 mL) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was stirred until completion (1.5-5 h). Aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL) was added, and the reaction mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (5 × 5 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography using hexanes-EtOAc as eluent to afford the desired benzotriazole (Table  [¹] ).
