Addition dipolaire-1,3 aux olefines portant une substitution captodative: reactivite comparee des α et des β amino acrylnitriles vis a vis des arylazides.

Arylazides reacted with α amino-acrylonitriles $\text{1}$ to produce 1-aryl-5-amino-triazoles, and with β amino-acrylonitriles $\text{2}$ to give 1-aryl-4-cyanotriazoles. Kinetics showed the Hammett ρ to be > o and therefore, these reactions are controlled by LUMOazide-HOMOolefin interaction. Despite the captodative substitution in $\text{1}$ and $\text{2}$ (ΔΔ E^≠～ 500 cal.M^?1) does'nt agree with a diradical intermediate.
