A single-step acid catalyzed reaction for rapid assembly of: NH -1,2,3-triazoles

NH-1,2,3-Triazole moieties are a part of the design of various biologically active compounds, pharmaceutical agents and functional materials. Unfortunately, the applications of this heterocycle are still underexplored due to the lack of a general synthetic protocol. Here we outline a novel, general and facile metal-free pathway that enables the direct synthesis of these heterocycles by combining readily accessible and abundant precursors such as enolizable ketones and NH4OAc with high levels of regioselectivity via an organocascade process. The developed chemistry has been successfully applied to the synthesis of several structurally diverse products, pharmaceutical agents and supramolecular receptors.

New Methods and Reagents in Organic Synthesis. 34. Diphenyl Phosphorazidate (DPPA) as a 1,3-Dipole. A Simple, Efficient Conversion of Alkyl Phenyl Ketones to 2-Phenylalkanoic Acids

Propiophenone (11) was conveniently converted to its enamines 12a-c using boron trifluoride etherate as a catalyst.Reaction of diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA) with the enamines 12a-c efficiently afforded the N-phosphorylated amidines 14a-c by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of DPPA to the enamine double bond, followed by the evolution of nitrogen from the intermediate triazoline 13, and 1,2-migration of the phenyl group. 1,3-Dipolar elimination products 15a-c were also formed, though in very low yields.Some chemical properties of the N-phosphorylated amidine 14a, as well as the 1,3-dipolar character of DPPA, were investigated.By the same reaction sequences (enamine formation followed by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of DPPA), some alkyl phenyl ketones 29a-c were conveniently converted to the N-phosphorylated amidines 31a, 31b, and 27 via the enamines 30a-c.However , in the case of acetophenone and its derivatives 33a-c, these reaction sequences proceeded sluggishly.Alkaline hydrolysis of the N-phosphorylated amidines 14a, 31a, 31b and 27 with potassium hydroxide afforded 2-phenylalkanoic acids 25 and 32a-c, respectively, in excellent yields.The overall three-step process of successive treatment of alkyl phenyl ketones (alkylmethyl) with pyrrolidine, DPPA, and potassium hydroxide may provide a new general method for the efficient conversion of alkyl aryl ketones to 2-arylalkanoic acids.Keywords - enamine; diphenyl phosphorazidate; boron trifluoride etherate; 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition; 1,2-migration; N-phosphorylated amidine; alkaline hydrolysis; alkyl aryl ketone; 2-arylalkanoic acid

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF 1,2,3-TRIAZOLES THAT CONTAIN A FERROCENYL RING

Ferrocenesulfonyl azide reacts with a number of aroylmethylenetriphenylphosphinomethylenes in dry methylene chloride to give 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles (61-77percent yields), which are readily converted to 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles and ethyl ferrocenesulfonate when they are refluxed in ethanol.The known triphenylphosphazo ferrocenyl sulfone and ethyl diazoacetate are formed in the case of the reaction of ferrocenesulfonyl azide with carbethoxymethylenetriphenylphosphinomethylene.The structures of the synthesized compounds were proved by the results of elementary analysis and IR, UV, and mass spectroscopy.
