Abstract A collection of benzotriazoles consisting of seven compounds was prepared from the propynyl-substituted benzolactone 1 and various azides using click chemistry. The lactone 1 was obtained through a short route by direct esterification of the allylbenzoic acid 9 with the alkynol 7 giving the benzoate 2. The homopropargyl alcohol 7 in turn was obtained by opening the epoxide 6 with triisopropylsilyl acetylide. Ring-closing metathesis of the ...
