The compound 2(2-hydroxy-5-isopropenylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole (2H5P) is produced by azo coupling of o-nitrophenyl diazonium chloride with p-hydroxyacetophenone, subjecting the resulting isolated azo compound to reductive cyclization with zinc in the presence of sodium hydroxide at a temperature of about 50.degree.-70.degree. C., acidifying the resulting mixture so as to produce (2(2-hydroxy-5-acetylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole (2H5A), acetylating the isolated 2(2-hydroxy-5-acetylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole (2H5A), so as to produce 2(2-acetoxy-5-acetylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole (2A5A), methylating the isolated 2(2-acetoxy-5-acetylphenyl(2H-benzotriazole (2A5A) with a methyl Grignard reagent and dehydrating the isolated reaction product with potassium hydrogen sulfate so as to produce 2(2-hydroxy-5-isopropenylphenyl)2H-benzotriazole (2H5P). The compound is used as a polymerizable ultra violet light stabilizer.
