Lithiation‐Functionalisation of Triazoles Bearing Electron‐Withdrawing

摘要:
AbstractThe regioselective lithiation of 1,2,3‐triazoles provides an opportunity to introduce additional functionality, however this simple functionalisation strategy using triazoles bearing electron‐withdrawing N‐substituents has not been investigated until now. Herein, we demonstrate that the lithiated triazole intermediates can readily decompose, even at −78 °C. In addition, lithiation‐deuteration studies reveal lithiation can take place competitively on both the triazole and the electron‐withdrawn aryl ring. Careful control of reaction conditions is therefore required to i) minimise decomposition pathways; and ii) facilitate regioselective functionalisation of the triazole.

Experimental data support 1,3-dipolarcycloaddition between DEU-activated enols and electrophilic phenyl azides, especially perfluoroaryl azides, followed by rearrangement of the triazolineintermediate. The activation of the aldehyde under near-neutral conditions was of special importance in inhibiting dehydration/aromatization of the triazolineintermediate, thus promoting the rearrangement to form aryl amides
