N-Aryl and N-alkenyl carbamoyl benzotriazoles were prepared in good to excellent yields from acyl azides and benzotri-azole via Curtiusrearrangement, while N-alkylcarbamoyl benzotriazoles were formed from N-alkanoyl benzotriazoles and sodium azide in one pot. The carbamoyl benzotriazoles can be used as a stable isocyanate alternative, as has been demonstrated by its reaction with amines to synthesize
The invention relates to compounds and compositions for inhibiting the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the use of the compounds in therapy and, in particular, for treating or preventing conditions whose development or symptoms are linked to substrates of the FAAH enzyme, and methods of treatment or prevention using the compounds and compositions.
