obtained. The rate of hydrolysis of these ethers ramged from a few hours to several days. A theoretical investigation demonstrated that the acidic release of alcohols from triazole derivatives proceeds first by protonation of the triazole ring followed by proton transfer from the triazole ring to the carbonylgroup of the carbonates or to the oxygen atom of the ether derivatives. The rate of the decomposition
Triazolyl derivatives of amines were prepared using click chemistry and evaluated as releasing systems in mildly acidic environments. Triazolylcarbamates and alkylamines were obtained, depending on the reactivity of the propargylic intermediates used for the Huisgen cycloaddition. A fast hydrolysis of some derivatives in mildly acidic conditions was achieved. The relative rates were correlated to a proposed mechanism highlighting the complementary role of the triazole ring and carbocation reactivity/stability. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Extending Triazolyl-Based Release under Mildly Acidic Conditions To Give Aniline Derivatives
Triazolyl derivatives of anilines were prepared and evaluated as releasing systems at mildly acidic pH values. Two triazolyl derivatives showed convenient pH sensitivity, being stable at pH 7.3 and rapidly hydrolyzed at pH values below 5. A generalized mechanism is proposed from additional theoretical investigations. hydrolysis- alkynes - azides - cycloaddition - amines - protonation
