Studies on substitution of nitro groups in 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene with NH-azoles

Conditions were found under which NH-azoles (benzotriazole and its derivatives, 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazoles, pyrazole and its derivatives) replace one nitro group in 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) to form the corresponding N-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)azoles in the presence of inorganic bases in aprotic dipolar solvents. The reaction pathway was found to depend on the structure of the starting azole. The benzotriazolyl and 1,2,4-triazolyl fragments activate the replacement of the meta-nitro group to virtually the same extent as the nitro group in TNB, which made it possible to successively replace all three nitro groups in TNB.     

Catalytic asymmetric C-H insertions of rhodium(II) azavinyl carbenes

A highly efficient enantioselective C-H insertion of azavinyl carbenes into unactivated alkanes has been developed. These transition metal carbenes are directly generated from readily available and stable 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles in the presence of chiral Rh(II) carboxylates and are used for C-H functionalization of alkanes to access a variety of β-chiral sulfonamides.     

Synthesis of 5-Mercaptoalkylthiopyrazolyl-and 3-Mercaptoalkylthioisoxazolyl)-1,2,4-triazoles by Ring Chain Transformation

Cyclic α-oxo-α-(1,2,4-triazolyl)ketene S,S-acetals 1a-e react with hydrazine affording the substituted pyrazolyl-1,2,4-triazoles 3a-e. With hydroxylamine hydrochloride under basic conditions the substituted isoxazolyl-1,2,4-triazoles 5a-c are obtained.     

Annulation-Induced Hidden Reactivity of the 1,2,4-Triazole Backbone

Triazoles are an important class of compounds with widespread applications. Functionalization of the triazole backbone is thus of significant interest. In comparison to 1,2,3-triazoles, C−H activation-functionalization of the congeners 1,2,4-triazoles is surprisingly underdeveloped. Indeed, no such C−H activation-functionalization has been reported for 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazole cores. Furthermore, although denitrogenative ring-opening of 1,2,3-triazoles is well-explored, 1,2,4-triazole/triazolium substrates have not been known to exhibit N−N bond-cleaving ring-opening reactivity so far. In this work, we unveiled an unusual hidden reactivity of the 1,2,4-triazole backbone involving the elusive N−N bond-cleaving ring-opening reaction. This new reactivity was induced by a Satoh-Miura-type C−H activation-annulation at the 1,2,4-triazole motif appended with a pyridine directing group. This unique reaction allowed ready access to a novel class of unsymmetrically substituted 2,2′-dipyridylamines, with one pyridine ring fully-substituted with alkyl groups. The unsymmetrical 2,2′-dipyridylamines were utilized to access unsymmetrical boron-aza-dipyridylmethene fluorescent dyes. Empowered with desirable optical/physical properties such as large Stokes shifts and suitable hydrophobicity arising from optimal alkyl chain length at the fully-substituted pyridine-ring, these dyes were used for intracellular lipid droplet-selective imaging studies, which provided useful information toward designing suitable lipid droplet-selective imaging probes for biomedical applications.     

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.     

Reactions of 2-arylhydrazonoacetamidoximes with orthoesters

The reactions of 2-arylhydrazono-2-carbamoylacetamidoximes with orthoesters afford either 3-arylhydrazono-1,2,4-oxadiazoles or 1,2,3-triazoles, depending on the reactant structure.     

Novel one-step synthesis of thiazolo[3,2-b]1,2,4-triazoles

[reaction: see text] Reactions of chalcones 3a-f with bis(1H-1,2,4-triazolyl) sulfoxide 4 formed the thiazolo[3,2-b]1,2,4-triazoles 5a-f, which resemble closely some previously prepared COX-2 inhibitors. The structure of 5a was confirmed by X-ray analysis.     

Copper(II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative synthesis of substituted 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazoles from bisarylhydrazones via C-H functionalization/C-C/N-N/C-N bonds formation

An unprecedented copper(II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative synthesis of 2,4,5-triaryl-1,2,3-triazoles and 1,3,5-triaryl-1,2,4-triazoles from bisarylhydrazones as the common starting precursor has been achieved via cascade C-H functionalization/C-C/N-N/C-N bonds formation under mild reaction conditions. One of the enthralling outcomes of this strategy is the copper(II)-catalyzed room temperature C-H functionalization/C-N bond formation in presence of air, which has been accomplished during the synthesis of substituted 1,2,4-triazoles. This new class of compounds could give prospective luminescence as an iconic component in the area of pharmaceutical and biological sciences. The intermediates for both the processes have been isolated to elucidate the mechanistic scenario.     

Acidic N-dealkylation in nitrotriazolium salts

New selective synthesis of 1-alkyl-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles and 1-alkyl-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles has been developed, involving acid N-dealkylation of the relative 4-nitro-1,2,3- and 3-nitro- 5-R-1,2,4-triazolium salts. The assortment of novel 1-alkyl- 4(5)-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles has been thus essentially expanded. Treatment of relative 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazolium salts with HCl or HBr proceeds mostly as S_N^ipso-substitution of the nitro group.     

Synthesis of phthalan and phenethylamine derivatives via addition of alcohols to rhodium(II)-azavinyl carbenoids

1-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles undergo inter- and intramolecular 1,3-OH insertion with rhodium(II)-azavinyl carbenoid intermediates upon treatment with a rhodium(II) catalyst. Products of this transformation contain a synthetically versatile N-(2-alkoxyvinyl)sulfonamide, enabling divergent reactivity toward several N-protected phenethylamine derivatives under various conditions. Notably, products with a phthalan framework can be accessed directly from 4-aryl-1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles bearing a pendant alcohol.     

Synthesis and reactivity of sulfamoyl azides and 1-sulfamoyl-1,2,3-triazoles

Sulfamoyl azides are readily generated from secondary amines and a novel sulfonyl azide transfer agent, 2,3-dimethyl-1H-imidazolium triflate. They react with alkynes in the presence of a CuTC catalyst forming 1-sulfamoyl-1,2,3-triazoles. The latter are shelf-stable progenitors of rhodium azavinyl carbenes, versatile reactive intermediates that, among other reactions, readily and asymmetrically add to olefins.

Synthesis of new 1,2,3-triazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazole derivatives or substituted 2,3-benzo-1,3a,6,6a-tetraazapentalenes. II

This paper continues the synthesis of new 1,2,3-triazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazoles or 2,3-benzo-1,3a,6,6a-tetrazapentalenes to submit to biological assays. The derivatives were obtained by deoxycyclization reactions of appropriate nitrophenyl-1,2,3-triazole derivatives and by thermal decomposition of appropriate azidophenyl-1,2,3-triazoles (Schemes 1 and 2). Some attempts to extend these synthetic routes to the preparation of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazoles (Scheme 3) and 1,2,3-triazolo[1,2-b]-4H-1,2,3-benzo-triazines (Scheme 4) completely failed.

Diphenylnitrilimine reacts with 1-(N-phenacylidene)amino-1,2,3-triazoles 1 to give mainly 1,2,4- and 2H-1,2,3-triazoles 2 and 3 . CNDO/2 calculations were made on the compounds 1 and the cycloaddition was also examined on the basis of the interacting frontier molecular orbitals.     

Synthesis of 4,6-bis(1H-1,2,3-triazolyl)pyrimidines by the reaction of 4,6-diazido-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-pyrimidine with compounds containing a reactive methylene group

The reaction of 4,6-diazido-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidine with cyanoacetic ester in the presence of triethylamine leads only to 4-azido-6-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidine. The main product in reactions with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (acetylacetone, acetoacetic and benzoylacetic esters) is the corresponding substituted 4,6-bis(1H-1,2,3-triazolyl)pyrimidine. The formation of 4-azido-6-(1H-1,2,3-triazolyl)pyrimidine and 4-amino-6-(1H-1,2,3-triazolyl)pyrimidine as minor products was also recorded.Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk 630090.

Heterocyclic nitro compounds. 26. Reaction of 1-substituted 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazoles with anions of heterocyclic NH acids

1-Substituted 3-nitro-5-(N-azolyl)-1,2,4-triazoles mixed with 1-substituted 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones are obtained in the reaction of 1-substituted 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazoles with anions of heterocyclic NH acids (1,2,4-triazole, 1,2,3-triazole, pyrazole, benzotriazole, benzimidazole, and indazole derivatives). 1-Methyl-3-nitro-5-amino-1,2,4-triazole is formed instead of the expected 5-tetrazolyl derivative in the reaction of 1-methyl-3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole with tetrazole in alkaline media.

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-Iodo-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles Mediated by in Situ Generated Copper(I) Catalyst and Electrophilic Triiodide Ion

Mixing copper(II) perchlorate and sodium iodide solutions results in copper(I) species and the electrophilic triiodide ions, which collectively mediate the cycloaddition reaction of organic azide and terminal alkyne to afford 5-iodo-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles. One molar equivalent of an amine additive is required for achieving a full conversion. Excessive addition of the amine compromises the selectivity for 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazole by promoting the formation of 5-proto-1,2,3-triazole. Based on preliminary kinetic and structural evidence, a mechanistic model is formulated in which a 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazole is formed via iodination of a copper(I) triazolide intermediate by the electrophilic triiodide ions (and possibly triethyliodoammonium ions). The experimental evidence explains the higher reactivity of the in situ generated copper(I) species and triiodide ion in the formation of 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles than that of the pure forms of copper(I) iodide and iodine.
