Preparation

Benzotriazole is industrially manufactured by the diazotization reaction of o-phenylenediamine, sodium nitrite and acetic acid, decribed as following: synthesis of benzotriazole

Application

Benzotriazole (BTA) is applied as anti-rusting agent or corrosion inhibitor for metal (mainly copper and its alloys) by forming a passive layer, consisting of a complex between copper and benzotriazole, when copper is immersed in a solution containing benzotriazole. The passive layer is insoluble in aqueous and many organic solutions. ,Also used as anti-freezing agent for car, synthetic detergent, anti-dust agent for photography and polymer stabilizer.
