Abstract

In conclusion, benzotriazole analogs prepared in this research showed strong possibility to be photochemically activated DNA cleaving agents. Electrophilic groups such as haloacetoxy groups on the alkyl chain of benzotriazole analogs promote the DNA cleaving ability. Synthesis of 1-(2-Naphthoyl) Benzotriazoles.
