A simple and convenient synthesis of 3-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]cinnamic acids from 4-aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones and sodium azide

4-Aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-pyran-2-ones and ethyl 4-aryl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-carboxylates react with sodium azide to produce highly functionalized CF₃-1,2,3-triazoles: 3-[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]cinnamic acids and monoethyl esters of [5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]arylmethylidene malonic acids.     

Bromination and Azidation Reactions of 2-Styrylchromones. New Syntheses of 4(5)-Aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles

The bromination of 2-styrylchromones, bearing electron neutral substituents, with two molar equivalents of piridinium tribromide gave 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones and 3-bromo-2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones. The presence of electron-donating substituents on their B ring led to a mixture of compounds due to the higher reactivity of their C(2)=C(3) and C=C double bonds, whereas the strongly electron-withdrawing group hindered the bromination. The dehydrobromination of 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones with triethylamine gave a diastereomeric mixture of (E)- and (Z)-2-(-bromostyryl)chromones. Some novel 4(5)-aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles have been obtained from the reactions of 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones, 2-(-bromostyryl)chromones, and 2-styrylchromones with sodium azide. The reactions of 2-styrylchromones with sodium azide are more efficient, general, and constitute a one-pot synthetic method of 4(5)-aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles allowing the preparation of 1,2,3-triazoles bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in their aryl ring. The structure of all new compounds was established by extensive NMR spectroscopic studies.

New rearrangement of benzo[d]isoxazoles: recyclization of 4-R-6-nitrobenzo[d]isoxazole-3-carbaldehyde arylhydrazones into 2-aryl-4-(2-hydroxy-4-nitro-6-R-phenyl)-1,2,3-triazoles

The previously unknown recyclization of nitrobenzo[d]isoxazoles into 1,2,3-triazoles was found. A general method for the synthesis of 2-aryl-4-(2-hydroxy-4-nitro-6-R-phenyl)-1,2,3-triazoles from 4-R-6-nitrobenzo[d]isoxazole-3-carbaldehyde arylhydrazones was developed.     

Methylation of 3-methyl- and 3-phenyl-4-arylhydrazonoisoxazol-5-ones with diazomethane

3-Methyl(or phenyl)-4-arylhydrazonoisoxazol-5-ones on methylation with diazomethane afford 3-methyl(or phenyl)-4-(N-methylarylhydrazono)isoxazol-5-ones and 3-methyl(or phenyl)-5-methoxy-4-arylazoisoxazoles. The latter compounds readily rearrange to 4-methoxycarbonyl-5-methyl(or phenyl)-2-aryl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles.     

p-Toluenesulfonic acid-promoted autocatalytic hydrolyzation of 1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles

The first example of autocatalytic hydrolyzation of 4-aryl-1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles induced by p-toluenesulfonic acid was reported, providing an effective and metal-free synthetic approach to deliver a broad range of new 4-aryl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles in good yields. The kinetic profile of this hydrolyzation suggested that this reaction has exponential autocatalytic behavior.     

The one-pot synthesis of 4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles without azides and metal catalization

In this study, a new methodology for the one-pot synthesis of 4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from arylglyoxaldoxime semicarbazone is presented. 4-Aryl-1,2,3-triazoles were obtained in moderate to good yields via sodium dithionite and O₂, which are all efficient, safe and inexpensive reagents. This reaction is more suitable for large-scale syntheses than those using hydrazoic acid, sodium azide, or organic azides.     

Azolyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles

Huisgen reaction of (E)-1,5-diarylpent-2-en-4-yn-1-ones and (E)-1,5-diarylpent-1-en-4-yn-3-ones afforded 1-aryl-3-(5-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones and 3-aryl-1-(5-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-prop-2-en-1-ones, respectively. (E)-1-Aryl-3-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones reacted with hydrazine hydrate and phenylhydrazine to give 72–93% of 4-(3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles which underwent dehydrogenation on heating in boiling acetic acid with formation of the corresponding pyrazole derivatives. The molecular structures of (E)-3-phenyl-1-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and 4-[3-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole were studied by X-ray analysis. 4-(3-Aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles showed toxicity against Daphnia magna.     

Synthesis and cascade rearrangement of 3-arylazo-4-(3-ethoxycarbonylureido)furoxans

3-Arylazo-4-(3-ethoxycarbonylureido)furoxans, which were synthesized by the reactions of 4-amino-3-arylazofuroxans with ethoxycarbonyl isocyanate, were subjected to cascade rearrangements under the action of potassium tert-butoxide in dimethylformamide or by heating in dimethyl sulfoxide to form 4-amino-2-aryl-5-nitro-2H-1,2,3-triazoles. X-ray diffraction study and quantum-chemical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G**) of one of ureidofuroxans demonstrated that the intramolecular contact between the carbonyl group and the nitrogen atom of furoxan corresponds to the charge transfer from the lone electron pair of the oxygen atom to the antibonding orbital of the N—O bond.     

Trifluoromethyl Sulfones and Perfluoroalkanesulfonamides of the Azole Series

2-Phenyl-4-trifluoromethylsulfonylmethyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole was synthesized from 4-bromo-methyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole and sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate CF₃SO₂Na. 1(2)-Ethyl-4-nitro-1(2)H-1,2,3-triazoles and 4-nitro-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole were reduced to the corresponding amines. Intermediate 1,2-bis(1-ethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)diazene 1-oxide exists as a mixture of syn and anti isomers, the former being stabilized via formation of a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond. The reduction of 2-ethyl-4-nitro-2H-1,2,3-triazole in the presence of HCl afforded the target 4-amino-2-ethyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole and also 4-amino-5-chloro-2-ethyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole. Treatment of alkyl-substituted 4-amino-1,2,3-triazoles with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride and pentafluoroethanesulfonyl chloride gave N-triazolyl-substituted trifluoromethane- and pentafluoroethanesulfonamides and -imides.     

Pyrolysis and photolysis of 1-aroylamino-4,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles: Generation and thermal transformations of 4,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazolyl radicals

The pyrolysis of 1-aroylamino-4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazoles 1 yields, pressumably via the 4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazolyl radical ( 2a ), 2,3-diphenyl-2H-azirine ( 11a ) and 2-aryl-4,5-diphenylimidazoles 14 as the major products. Upon irradiation 1-benzoylamino-4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole ( 1a ) gives 4,5-diphenyl-1 (2)H-1,2,3-triazole ( 4a ) via the 1,2,3-triazolyl radical 2a , together with benzamide ( 5a ) and 1,2-bisbenzoylhydrazine ( 6a ). Products 5a and 6a result from the benzoylamino radical 3a by hydrogen atom abstraction and dimerization respectively.     

DABCO-mediated aza-Michael addition of 4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles to cycloalkenones. Regioselective synthesis of disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles

Aza-Michael addition of 4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles to 2-cycloalken-1-ones has been studied in the presence of DABCO as organic base. The reactions were carried out in acetonitrile at room temperature to provide 2,4-disubstituted 2H-1,2,3-triazoles as major adducts and 1,4-disubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles as minor adducts. Though the reaction times are longer (4–8 days), the two regioisomers were separated by using column chromatography and the adducts were obtained in very good to excellent combined chemical yields. The electron-rich and electron-poor substituents on aryl moiety of 4-aryl-triazoles could tolerate the reaction conditions to afford the title adducts.     

Electron impact fragmentation of isomeric 2-diazo-2-cyanoacetamides and 4-cyano-5-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazoles

On the basis of electron impact mass spectra, high-resolution mass spectra and metastable ion spectra, the isomerization of the molecular ions of N-aryl-2-diazo-2-cyanoacetamides and 1-aryl-4-cyano-5-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazoles into each other or into the common structure has been demonstrated. Corresponding N-cyclohexyl derivatives are unable to undergo such a transformation.     

Synthesis of novel heterocycles using 1,2,3-triazole-4-carbohydrazides as precursors

Herein, we report the synthesis of various heterocyclic ring systems containing 1,2,3-triazole from the reactions of acid hydrazides and commercially available reagents, using efficient and simple procedures. Reactions of certain 1,2,3-triazole-4-carbohydrazides and α-bromoketones in boiling ethanol afforded the corresponding hydrazones rather than the expected triazines. The hydrazones could also be synthesized in 85-90% yield via an alternative pathway that involved the reaction of 1,2,3-triazole-4-carbohydrazides and 4-acetyl-1,2,3-triazoles in boiling ethanol containing glacial acetic acid. Reaction of one of the 4-carbohydrazides with carbon disulfide, followed by the reaction with hydrazine hydrate, gave 4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol in 73% yield, which further reacted with other α-bromoketones in boiling ethanol to afford 7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines in 82-84% yields. Additionally, reactions of certain carbohydrazides with ethyl 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)acrylate gave 1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbohydrazides rather than the expected 1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylates.     

Synthesis of [5-(1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]pyridines

2-, 3-, and 4-[5-(1-Aryl-5-R-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]pyridines were synthesized from the corresponding 1-aryl-5-R-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl chlorides and 2-, 3-, and 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-pyridines.     

Reactivity of 4-azido- and 4-amino-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one. Preparation of 1-(6-methyl-2-oxopyran-4-yl)-1,2,3-triazoles and 5-oxopyrano[4,3-b]pyridines

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of stable 4-azido-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one 1 with electron-rich alkenes and alkynes lead to 4,5-substituted 1-(6-methyl-2-oxopyran-4-yl)-1,2,3-triazoles. Iminophosphoranes derived from 1 have also been synthesized. 5-Oxopyrano[4,3-b]pyridines are prepared by reaction of 4-amino-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one 2 with β-dicarbonyl compounds.     

Reactions of 2-benzylidenemalononitrile and 2-nitro-3-phenylacrylonitrile with aryl azides

Reactions of 2-benzylidenemalononitrile and 2-nitro-3-phenylacrylonitrile with aryl azides in diethyl ether at room temperature gave mixtures of regioisomeric 1(3)-aryl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1(3)H-1,2,3-triazole-4,4-dicarbonitriles and 1-aryl-5(4)-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)-carbonitriles, respectively. 2-Benzylidenemalononitrile reacted with the same arylazides on heating in boiling chloroform to produce 1-aryl-2-phenylaziridine-2,2-dicarbonitriles.     

Synthesis of new pyrazole-1,2,3-triazole dyads

An efficient two step synthetic methodology of new 5(4)-aryl-4(5)-[3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5(3)-yl]-1H-1,2,3-triazole dyads was established. The reaction of (E)-2-styryl-4H-chromen-4-ones, used as building blocks, with sodium azide, gave 4(5)-aryl-5(4)-(chromon-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazoles bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in their styryl moiety which upon reaction with hydrazine hydrate afforded the expected pyrazoles in moderate to very good yields.     

Tandem Knoevenagel-[3+2] cycloaddition-elimination reactions: one-pot synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-(NH)-triazoles

Sodium azide has been found to catalyse Knoevenagel condensation between aromatic aldehyde and cyano compound with active methylene hydrogens and this has led to a successful route for the one pot synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-(NH)-triazoles from aldehydes through Knoevenagel-[3+2]cycloaddition-elimination sequence. In the formation of 5-aryl-2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonitrile derivatives, the reaction has been found to occur efficiently in water.     

2-Alkyl-4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2H-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides: synthesis and reduction

A new approach to the synthesis of 4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2-R-2H-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides 1 was developed. Compounds 1 were obtained by reactions of 3-amino-4-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)furoxan with aliphatic amines RNH₂ (R = Me, Et, Prⁱ, Bu, and Bu^t). 4-Amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2-tert-butyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxide was transformed under the action of acids into 4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-1-hydroxy-1H-1,2,3-triazole. Methylation of the latter with diazomethane mainly involves the O atom of the triazole oxide ring. Reduction of compounds 1 gave 4-amino-5-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)-2-R-2H-1,2,3-triazoles and 4-amino-5-(tert-butyldiazenyl)-2-R-2H-1,2,3-triazoles (R = Me, Prⁱ, and Bu^t). The structures of the compounds obtained were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy.
