Use of comparative triazolinium triflate fragmentation rates as a tool to assay relative competency of Brønsted bases in N→N proton transfer
摘要:
Bronsted acid-induced fragmentation of a triazoline is used as a tool to identify Bronsted base additives capable of playing the role of a proton shuttle. Relative to water, dimethyl formamide accelerates proton transfer substantially under these conditions. A series of alcohols and ethers were also used to demonstrate that the Bronsted basicity of additive functionality, not their Bronsted acidity, is responsible for their ability to accelerate proton transfer from triazoline N3 to N1. This knowledge was then used to develop a convenient two step protocol for the synthesis of oxazolidine diones from benzyl azide and an unsaturated imide that employs a substoichiometric additive for triazolinium fragmentation.

Rateacceleration of the addition of benzyl azide to an electron deficient olefin is characterized using in situ IR spectroscopy. Under strictly anhydrous conditions and at depressed temperature (-20 degrees C), a triazoline intermediate is selectively formed. The stability of this protonated triazoline intermediate at -20 degrees C is indefinite, but warming of the reaction mixture to 0 degrees C
