An efficient, simple and solvent-free method for highly regioselective N-alkylation of benzotriazole in the presence of SiO2, K2CO3 and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) under thermal and microwave conditions has been described. In this method, 1-alkyl benzotriazoles were obtained regioselectively in moderate to high yields and short reaction times.
