An improved procedure for the preparation of 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from benzyl azides

A procedure for the preparation of substituted 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from benzyl azides under very mild conditions is described. The method provides improved yields and extends the scope of the Dimroth Reaction to other types of active methylene compound to those previously used. Benzyl azides react with active methylene compounds in dimethyl sulphoxide catalysed by potassium carbonate at 35–40° to give 1H-1,2,3-triazoles usually in good yield. Acetonitrile derivatives gave 5-amino-1H-1,2,3-triazoles whereas diethyl malonate gave 5-hydroxy-1H-1,2,3-triazoles. 1H-1,2,3-Triazole-4-carboxylate esters and 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-ketones were obtained from ethyl acetoacetate and β-diketones respectively. Benzyl methyl ketone reacted to give a 5-methyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole, but acetone and acetophenone failed to react. Other active methylene compounds which did not react under these reaction conditions included ethyl cyanoacetate, ethyl fluoroacetate and ethyl nitroacetate.

The starting compound was reacted with several azides, leading to 4-(silylalkynyl)-1,2,3-triazoles, which were easily transformed into 4-arylalkynyl-1,2,3-triazoles by a Pd catalyzed coupling reaction with aryl halides, or into novel 4,4′-bi-1,2,3-triazole derivatives by a subsequent cyclization reaction with azides.

Cleavage of the triazoles was performed with trifluoroacetic acid. A traceless synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles was developed using 2-methoxy-substituted resin (polymer-bound 4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol). In addition, a synthesis of 4-hydroxybenzyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles from the bromo-Wang resin (4-(bromomethyl)phenoxymethyl polystyrene) was achieved.

Efficient synthesis of allylic azides and one-pot regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from homoallyl alcohols

This protocol is for an expedient and operationally simple synthesis of allylic azides and one-pot synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from homoallyl alcohols. Synthesis of allylic azides involves the palladium-catalyzed hydroazidation of unactivated olefins with migration of double bond. This hydroazidation can be coupled to Cu(I) promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to afford the corresponding 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles.

After revisiting earlier works reporting the regioselective synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles via the addition of bromomagnesium acetylides to azides, much improved yields of the products were obtained for a wide array of azides and alkynes. The intermediates of that reaction can be trapped with different electrophiles to regioselectively form 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. [reaction: see text]     

A combined experimental and theoretical study of the thermal cycloaddition of aryl azides with activated alkenes

Reactions were performed from aryl azides on the one hand, and activated alkenes coming from β-dicarbonyl compounds or malonodinitrile on the other hand, either with recourse to conventional heating or to microwave activation, to afford 1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles. The mechanism and the regioselectivity of the reactions involving β-dicarbonyl compounds have been theoretically studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level: they are domino processes comprising a tautomeric equilibrium of the β-dicarbonyl compounds with their enol forms, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the enol forms with the aryl azides (high activation energy), and a dehydration process (lower activation energy). The effect of non-conventional activation methods on the degradation of 1,2,3-triazolines was next studied experimentally. Finally, some of the 1,2,3-triazoles such synthesized were evaluated for their bactericidal and cytotoxic activities.     

Metal-free and azide-free synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles derivatives

1,2,3-Triazoles, significant five-membered ring N-heterocycles, are main structural moieties in well-designed materials, pharmaceutical agents, bioactive products, and synthetic intermediates. In the research of life sciences and pharmaceuticals, by seeing the spacious applications of 1,2,3-triazoles, the progress of metal-free method is exceedingly desirable to evade the heterocyclic product metal contamination. Moreover, on a larger scale, the toxicity and explosiveness of azides makes azides discommode and hard to hold, to synthesize 1,2,3-triazoles. The need to steer the development of the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles toward more maintainable synthesis is a pressing issue. There are rare methods to construct 1,2,3-triazoles under azide-free and metal-free environments. These rare methods are compiled in this review. The afford of the collection and compilation of azide-free and metal-free synthesis methodologies of 1,2,3-triazole in single podium is supportive and crucial for synthetic chemist to extend the diversity of the synthesis of 1,2,3-trizoles through green protocol.

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.

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the acetylated 1,2-trans- and 1,2-cis-cellobiosyl, -lactosyl, -maltosyl, and -melibiosyl azides with various acetylenedicarboxylic acid esters gave the corresponding 1-N-glycobiosyl-1,2,3-triazoles (1a,b,c-8a,b,c) which have been used as glycosyl donors for the synthesis of oligosaccharides (15-17) and an anthracycline type antibiotic (18).     

Peptidotriazoles on solid phase: [1,2,3]-triazoles by regiospecific copper(i)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of terminal alkynes to azides

The cycloaddition of azides to alkynes is one of the most important synthetic routes to 1H-[1,2,3]-triazoles. Here a novel regiospecific copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes to azides on solid-phase is reported. Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl azides, aryl azides, and an azido sugar were used successfully in the copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition producing diversely 1,4-substituted [1,2,3]-triazoles in peptide backbones or side chains. The reaction conditions were fully compatible with solid-phase peptide synthesis on polar supports. The copper(I) catalysis is mild and efficient (>95% conversion and purity in most cases) and furthermore, the X-ray structure of 2-azido-2-methylpropanoic acid has been solved, to yield structural information on the 1,3-dipoles entering the reaction. Novel Fmoc-protected amino azides derived from Fmoc-amino alcohols were prepared by the Mitsunobu reaction.
