Copper(I)‐Catalyzed Interrupted Click/Sulfenylation Cascade: One‐Pot Synthesis of Sulfur Cycle Fused 1,2,3‐Triazoles

Herein, we report a practical protocol for the synthesis of sulfur cycle fused 1,2,3‐triazoles through a copper(I)‐catalyzed tandem click/intramolecular sulfenylation reaction. The reaction proceeded via a copper‐catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition, followed by interception of the in situ formed cuprate‐triazole intermediate with p‐toluenesulfonothioate. This reaction shows broad substrate scope, complete regioselectivity, and excellent functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions.     

Synthesis of 5H‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,3‐a][2]benzazepines from the baylis‐hillman adducts of 2‐alkynylbenzaldehydes

Ligand‐free,copper‐catalyzed,one‐pot,three‐component synthesis of novel 1,2,3‐triazole‐linked indoles in magnetized water

Magnetized water (MW) is used as a green and new solvent‐promoting medium for the one‐pot, three‐component synthesis of novel 1,2,3‐triazole‐linked indoles catalyzed by copper iodide. A broad range of 2‐aryl‐1‐(prop‐2‐ynyl)‐1H‐indole‐3‐carbaldehydes were reacted with alkyl halides and sodium azide via copper‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions in MW in the absence of any ligand. This method offers the advantages of short reaction times, green procedure, low cost, simple work‐up, quantitative reaction yields, and no need for any organic solvent.     

Recent Developments in Azide‐Free Synthesis of 1,2,3‐Triazoles

1,2,3‐Triazoles, as one of the most significant nitrogen‐containing heterocycles due to their extensive use in biology, material science and organic synthesis, have aroused great interest. 1,2,3‐Triazoles are commonly synthesized by metal‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition and organocatalytic azide–carbonyl cycloaddition, which indispensably employ the toxic and potentially explosive azides. The azide‐free synthetic approaches provide a powerful and straightforward alternative to the assembly of diverse 1,2,3‐triazoles without the use of azides. In this review, we summarize the recent development of the construction of 1,2,3‐triazoles under azide‐free conditions.     

Accelerated Solvent‐ and Catalyst‐Free Synthesis of 1,2,3‐Triazolium‐Based Poly(Ionic Liquid)s

A straightforward and expeditious monotopic approach for the preparation of 1,2,3‐triazolium‐based poly(ionic liquids) (TPILs) is reported. It is based on the solvent‐ and catalyst‐free polyaddition of an α‐azide‐ω‐alkyne monomer in the presence of methyl iodide or N‐methyl bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide alkylating agents. Poly(1,2,3‐triazole)s generated in bulk or by thermal azide–alkyne cycloaddition (AAC) are quaternized in‐situ to afford TPILs composed of 1,3,4‐ and 1,3,5‐trisubstituted 1,2,3‐triazolium units. The physical and ion‐conducting properties of the prepared samples are compared with the TPILs composed solely of 1,3,4‐trisubstituted 1,2,3‐triazolium units obtained through a multistep approach involving copper(I)‐catalyzed AAC polyaddition, quaternization of the 1,2,3‐triazole groups, and anion metathesis. TPILs obtained through the monotopic approach display thermal stabilities and ionic conductivities comparable to their pure regioisomeric analogues.

Aryl azides 1 were treated with allenylmagnesium bromide ( 2 ) to generate 1,5‐disubstituted butynyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazoles 3 in a domino fashion, which upon Cu^I‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition with aryl azides 4 afforded novel bis‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazoles 5 in quantitative yields (Scheme 1 and Table).     

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐e]1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidine derivatives II

The 7‐chloro‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 7‐chloro‐3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]pyrimidines ( 1 and 4 ), by nucleophilic replacement with some hydrazides, gave the corresponding 7‐hydrazidoderivatives ( 2a‐e and 5a‐e ). These, by heating in Dowtherm, underwent an intramolecular cyclization to form the new tricyclic 7‐substituted‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐e]1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidines ( 3a‐d and 6a‐d ). The 7‐hydrazino‐3‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐ and 7‐hydrazino‐3‐(2‐fluorobenzyl)‐triazolo‐pyrimidines ( 9a and 9b ) were also prepared via the corresponding mercapto ( 7a and 7b ) and thiomethyl ( 8a and 8b ) derivatives.     

Synthesis of Some 7H‐s‐Triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazine Derivatives

The cyclization of 1‐amino‐2‐mercapto‐5‐[5‐methyl‐1‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl]‐1,3,4‐triazole with various α‐haloketone in absolute ethanol yields 7H‐3‐[5‐methyl‐1‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl]‐6‐substituted‐s‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazines and their structures are established by elemental analysis, MS, IR and ¹H NMR spectral data.     

Synthesis and Antifungal Activities of ω‐[4‐Aryl‐5‐(1‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐thio]‐ω‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)acetophenones

New 4‐aryl‐5‐(1‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐thiones 3 have been synthesized by the intramolecular cyclization of 4‐aryl‐1‐(1‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐formyl)thiosemicarbazides 2 with an 8% NaOH solution, and then 3 reacted with ω‐bromo‐ω‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)acetophenone to afford ω‐[4‐aryl‐5‐(1‐phenyl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐thio]‐ω‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)‐acetophenones 4 . The preliminary biological test showed that the representative compounds possess some anti fungal activities.

Several 3‐[5‐methyl‐1‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl]‐6‐substituted‐1,3,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles have been synthesized and the structures of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, MS, IR and ¹H NMR spectral data.     

New 1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐b]pyridazine derivatives II

New tricyclic 1,2,3‐triazolo‐1,2,4‐triazolo‐pyridazine derivatives, bearing a methyl substituent on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, were prepared as potential biological agents. N‐Methylation of dimethyl 1,2,3‐triazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylate allowed synthesis of the isomeric 1‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy and 2‐methyl‐4,7‐dihydroxy triazolo‐pyridazines 4a and 4b which, by a chlorination reaction, gave the corresponding 1‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐( 6a ), 1‐methyl‐7‐chloro‐ ( 6b ) and 2‐methyl‐4‐chloro‐ ( 9 ) substituted 1,2,3‐triazolo‐pyridazines. The nucle‐ophilic substitution with hydrazine hydrate and the suitable cyclization to form the 1,2,4‐triazole ring, provided the expected tricyclic isomeric derivatives 8a, 8b and 11 respectively. The p‐methoxybenzyl substituent, introduced as a leaving group to obtain either v‐triazolo‐pyridazine or v‐triazolo‐s‐triazolo‐pyri‐dazine derivatives unsubstituted on the 1,2,3‐triazole ring, appeared inadequate. Some compounds underwent binding assays toward the adenosine A₁and A_2A receptors.     

One‐Pot Synthesis of 3‐Substituted 3,4‐Dihydro‐1,2,3‐benzotriazine Derivatives Based on the Reaction of o‐Bromobenzyl Azides with Butyllithium

An efficient one‐pot procedure for the preparation of 3‐substituted 3,4‐dihydro‐1,2,3‐benzotriazines 2, 3 , and 4 from o‐bromobenzyl azides 1 is described. The reaction of these azides with BuLi in THF at ?78° generates o‐lithiobenzyl azides via the Br/Li exchange. These lithium compounds immediately undergo intramolecular cyclization to give the corresponding (dihydro‐1,2,3‐benzotriazinyl)lithium intermediates, which are trapped with a variety of acylating agents or BnBr at N(3) exclusively to provide the desired products in moderate to good yields.     

Synthesis of 1‐substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazines as precursors for novel tetraazapentalene derivatives

A series of 1‐substituted 4,5‐diformyl‐[1,2,3]triazole derivatives were prepared by 1,3‐dipolar cyclo‐addition of aryl azides with acetylene dicarboxaldehyde mono‐diethylacetal. The triazoles were readily converted into 1‐substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazines in good yields. The 1‐(2‐nitrophenyl)‐[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazine was found to be a useful intermediate for the generation of the novel 5H‐benzo[1,2,3]triazolo[1′,2′:1,2]triazolo[4,5‐d]pyridazin‐6‐ium inner salt ring system.     

Synthesis and Antibacterial Activities of 2‐(1‐Aryl‐5‐Methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1,3,4‐Oxadiazole Derivatives

Eighteen novel 2‐(1‐aryl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole derivatives and two acylhydrazone intermediate compounds were synthesized by various pathways starting from 1‐aryl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐formhydrazide ( 1 ). All products were identified by spectroscopic analysis, and 2‐(1‐aryl‐5‐methyl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)‐5‐benzalthio‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole was further validated by X‐ray crystallography. Results from primary antibacterial activity tests indicated that most of the compounds were effective against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, B. subtilis and S. aureus.     

2‐Triazolylpyrimido[1,2,3‐cd]purine‐8,10‐diones via 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions to 2‐ethynylpyrimido[1,2,3‐cd]purine‐8,10‐dione

This paper presents the synthesis of a series of 5,6‐dihydro‐4H,8H‐pyrimido[1,2,3‐cd]purine‐8,10(9H)‐dione ring system derivatives with a [1,2,3]triazole ring bonded in position 2. The procedure is based on cycloaddition of substituted alkyl azides to the terminal triple bond of 5,6‐dihydro‐2‐ethynyl‐9‐methyl‐4H,8H‐pyrimido[1,2,3‐cd]purine‐8,10(9H)‐dione ( 4 ). This cycloaddition produced two regioisomers ?5,6‐dihydro‐9‐methyl‐2‐(1‐substituted‐1H‐[1,2,3]triazol‐5‐yl)‐4H,8H‐pyrimido[1,2,3‐cd]purine‐8,10(9H)‐dione ( 7 ) and 2‐(1‐substituted‐1H‐[1,2,3]triazol‐4‐yl) derivative 8 . The required 2‐ethynyl deriva tive 4 was obtained from the starting 2‐unsubstituted compound 1 by bromination to yield the 2‐bromo derivative 2 , which was converted by Sonogashira reaction to trimethylsilylethyne 3 and finally, the protective trimethylsilyl group was removed by hydrolysis.     

Efficient Atropodiastereoselective Access to 5,5′‐Bis‐1,2,3‐triazoles: Studies on 1‐Glucosylated 5‐Halogeno 1,2,3‐Triazoles and Their 5‐Substituted Derivatives as Glycogen Phosphorylase Inhibitors

Whereas copper‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) between acetylated β‐D ‐glucosyl azide and alkyl or phenyl acetylenes led to the corresponding 4‐substituted 1‐glucosyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles in good yields, use of similar conditions but with 2 equiv CuI or CuBr led to the 5‐halogeno analogues (>71 %). In contrast, with 2 equiv CuCl and either propargyl acetate or phenyl acetylene, the major products (>56 %) displayed two 5,5′‐linked triazole rings resulting from homocoupling of the 1‐glucosyl‐4‐substituted 1,2,3‐triazoles. The 4‐phenyl substituted compounds (acetylated, O‐unprotected) and the acetylated 4‐acetoxymethyl derivative existed in solution as a single form (d.r.>95:5), as shown by NMR spectroscopic analysis. The two 4‐phenyl substituted structures were unambiguously identified for the first time by X‐ray diffraction analysis, as atropisomers with aR stereochemistry. This represents one of the first efficient and highly atropodiastereoselective approaches to glucose‐based bis‐triazoles as single atropisomers. The products were purified by standard silica gel chromatography. Through Sonogashira or Suzuki cross‐couplings, the 1‐glucosyl‐5‐halogeno‐1,2,3‐triazoles were efficiently converted into a library of 1,2,3‐triazoles of the 1‐glucosyl‐5‐substituted (alkynyl, aryl) type. Attempts to achieve Heck coupling to methyl acrylate failed, but a stable palladium‐associated triazole was isolated and analyzed by ¹H NMR and MS. O‐Unprotected derivatives were tested as inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase. The modest inhibition activities measured showed that 4,5‐disubstituted 1‐glucosyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles bind weakly to the enzyme. This suggests that such ligands do not fit the catalytic site or any other binding site of the enzyme.
