摘要:
The preparation of new chiral N,N'-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazolium based NHC salt precursors, Ia' and Ib, from phenylhydrazine and L-phenylalanine is reported. The 1,3,4-trisubstituted triazolium salt Ia' was obtained by a stepwise ring construction from L-phenylalanine via the corresponding imino ether and acetohydrazonamide, while a heterocyclic O-/N-heteroatom exchange strategy, based on a ring-opening/ring-closure of the oxadiazolium precursor, afforded the 1,4-disubstituted 1.2,4-triazolium salt Ib. The need for two different synthetic strategies is discussed. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
