Acid-Catalyzed Decomposition of 1-Alkyltriazolines: A Mechanistic Study

1-Alkyltriazolines are five-membered cyclic triazenes containing the unusual Z-configuration for the triazene moiety.The hydrolytic decomposition of these compounds in aqueous or mixed acetonitrile-aqueous buffers leads predominantly to the formation of the corresponding 1-alkylaziridines and lesser amounts of 2-(alkylamino)ethanols, alkylamines, and acetaldehyde.The latter two products presumably result from hydrolysis of a rearrangement produkt, N-ethylidenealkylamine.Neither the nature of the 1-alkyl group nor the pH of the medium greatly influences the product distribution, although decomposition in purely aqueous buffers slightly reduces the aziridine yields.The rate of hydrolysis of 1-alkyltriazolines is about twice as fast as that of the analogous acyclic 1,3,3-trialkyltriazenes and varies in the order tert-butyl > isopropyl > ethyl > butyl > methyl > propyl > benzyl.The mechanism of the decomposition is specific acid-catalyzed (A1) involving rapid reversible protonation followed by rate-limiting formation of a 2-(alkylamino)ethyldiazonium ion.The slopes of the log kobs versus pH plots are near -1.0.The solvent deuterium isotope effect, kH2O/kD2O, is in all cases methyl > ethyl.
