The research focuses on the reactions of trimethylsilyl azide with 3-trimethylsilyl-2-propynal and 2-propynal. The study aims to understand the regioselectivity of the addition process and the propensity of 5-formyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles to undergo dimerization, forming tricyclic bis-hemiaminals. The experiments involved heating equimolar amounts of the reactants in toluene or tetrahydrofuran, with careful monitoring of the reaction progress using TLC and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The analyses included X-ray analysis to confirm the molecular structure of 4-trimethylsilyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-carbaldehyde, and the examination of the effects of temperature and solvent polarity on dimerization using IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The research also explored the potential of these compounds as biologically active substances and energy-rich substances, with previous findings indicating high cytostatic and tuberculostatic activity in related compounds.
