Regioselective synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions in water

Reaction of an arylacetylene with an azide in hot water gave 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in high yields, while similar reaction between a terminal aliphatic alkyne and an azide (except m-nitroazidobenzene) afforded a mixture of regioisomers with the ratio of 1,4- to 1,5-isomers ranging from 3:1 to 28.6:1. Reactions of m-nitroazidobenzene with either arylalkynes or aliphatic alkynes formed only 1,4-disubstituted derivatives in excellent yields.     

Efficient synthesis of N-2-aryl-1,2,3-triazole fluorophores via post-triazole arylation

Efficient post-triazole regioselective N-2 arylation was developed from C-4, C-5 disubstituted-1,2,3-NH-triazoles. Three different approaches had been investigated, including S(N)Ar, Cu(I) catalyzed aryl amidation and Cu(II) mediated boronic acid coupling. The N-2-aryl triazoles were successfully synthesized with excellent yields. The structures were characterized by X-ray crystallography and some N-2-triazole products gave strong fluorescence with various emission controlled by the C-5 groups.

The synthesis of angular methyl substituted bicyclic enones via a unique regioselective enamine annulation reaction

Enamines of 2,4,4-trimethylcyclopentanone 5 and of 2,5,5-trimethylcyclohexanone 14 react with methyl vinyl ketone to afford the bicyclic enones 9 and 15 in yields up to 70%. The formation of these products bearing an angular Me group is the result of an anomalous enamine Robinson annulation reaction, due to an alkylation of the enamine in the first step at its most substituted α-position. The effect of substitution in the α- and β′-position in the cycloalkanone, its ringsize, the structure of the Michael acceptor (alkyl vinyl ketone) was illustrated in reactions of the enamines of 2,5-dimethylcyclohexanone 22, carvomenthone 19, menthone 26, dihydrocarvone 28 and tetrahydroeucarvone 32 with methyl- and/or ethyl vinyl ketone.

In this work, we report the synthesis of a novel carbohydrate-lithocholic acid conjugate linked through of 1,2,3-triazole rings and its derivatives in good to excellent yields.

Synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole nucleosides via the acid-catalyzed fusion procedure

The acid-catalyzed fusion of methyl 1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate, 4-cyano-1,2,3-triazole, and 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole with an acylated ribofuranose provided the corresponding 2-β-D-ribo-furanosyl-4-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles along with the isomeric 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-4-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles. The structures of these nucleosides were assigned on the basis of their nmr spectra. The synthesis of 2-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide from both the corresponding methyl ester and cyano nucleosides is described. The cyano nucleosides were utilized to prepare 2-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-thiocarboxa?ide and 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazole-4-thiocarboxamide. Reduction of the 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole nucleosides provided 4-amino-2-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazole and the isomeric 4-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazole. The acid-catalyzed fusion procedure with 1,2,3-triazole afforded 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazole and 2-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,3-triazole.     

Concise synthesis of chiral 2(5H)-furanone derivatives possessing 1,2,3-triazole moiety via one-pot approach

Combining three bioactive units, such as 2(5H)-furanone, 1,2,3-triazole, and amino acid together into one potential drug molecule with polyfunctional groups, a series of new chiral 2(5H)-furanone derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazole moiety have been designed and synthesized from (5S)-5-alkoxy-3,4-dibromo-2(5H)-furanones, amino acids, propargyl bromide, and organic azides via the sequential three steps, including asymmetric Michael addition–elimination, substitution, and click reaction. The latter two steps, substitution and click reaction could proceed smoothly in a one-pot process. Furthermore, the target products could be directly synthesized via a four-component one-pot approach.

Synthesis of quinazolinones from anthranilamides and aldehydes via metal-free aerobic oxidation in DMSO

A highly environmentally benign protocol for the synthesis of quinazolinones from anthranilamides and aldehydes via aerobic oxidation was developed in wet DMSO. This protocol is operationally simple, exhibits broad substrate scope, and does not need toxic metal catalysts and bases. In addition, the utility of this transformation was further demonstrated by converting the resulting quinazolinones into other useful products in the same-pot without their isolation.     

Regioselective synthesis of 5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues via TBS-directed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction

Herein described was a straightforward method for the highly regioselective synthesis of 5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues, which featured the utilization of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group as the directing group in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. 4-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues were generated as the only cycloaddition products in moderate yields (15-79%) via the treatment of glycosyl azides with 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-tert-butyldimethylsilylpropyne 1 in toluene at 85 °C. Removal of TBS groups in these triazole cycloadducts with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) smoothly afforded the various 5-trifluoromethyl-1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues in good yields (40-88%).

A metal-free p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH·H₂O) mediated synthesis of 3-ketoquinolines from anilines, enaminones and DMSO has been developed. In this transformation, DMSO was activated by TsOH·H₂O and provided the one-carbon unit of the 3-ketoquinolines. A plausible mechanism involving an electrophilic sulfenium ion intermediate was proposed.

N-Alkylation of 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole revisited. Detection and characterization of the N3-ethylation product, 1-ethyl-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazole

The products of the alkylation of sodium 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate with ethyl bromide were investigated using ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy. It was found that alkylation proceeds on the triazole nitrogen atoms giving a mixture of three isomeric N-ethyl-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles. The molar ratio of N1, N2, and N3-alkylation products was 4:8:1. The formation of a minor N3-isomer, namely 1-ethyl-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazole was confirmed by X-ray structural analysis of single crystals of its tetranuclear copper(II) complex obtained by reaction of copper(II) chloride dihydrate with a mixture of the N2 and N3-isomers.

A density functional computational study shows that 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole, which is highly impact sensitive, can decompose through ring opening and subsequent N₂ evolution, with the net release of 12 kcal/mol. An input of 52 kcal/mol is required to initiate the process. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
