The thermal isomerizations of N ‐[α‐(alkylthio)alkyl]‐ and N ‐[α‐(arylthio)alkyl]benzotriazoles have been investigated under N 2 atmospheres ( i ) in toluene, xylene, MeOH, or EtOH, in the presence of acid catalysts and ( ii ) in the absence of solvent. The sulfide isomerization rates depend on the number of H‐atoms carried by the C‐atom attached to the N‐atom of the benzotriazole: tertiary (no hydrogen) > secondary (1 hydrogen) > primary (2 hydrogens). The results support an isomenzation mechanism involving a heterolytic NC bond cleavage with formation of sulfonium/carbonium and benzotriazolate ions.
