DABCO-mediated aza-Michael addition of 4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles to cycloalkenones. Regioselective synthesis of disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles
摘要:
Aza-Michael addition of 4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles to 2-cycloalken-1-ones has been studied in the presence of DABCO as organic base. The reactions were carried out in acetonitrile at room temperature to provide 2,4-disubstituted 2H-1,2,3-triazoles as major adducts and 1,4-disubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles as minor adducts. Though the reaction times are longer (4-8 days), the two regioisomers were separated by using column chromatography and the adducts were obtained in very good to excellent combined chemical yields. The electron-rich and electron-poor substituents on aryl moiety of 4-aryl-triazoles could tolerate the reaction conditions to afford the title adducts. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A facile and new metal-free 1,3-dipolarcycloaddition reaction for the synthesis of 4-aryl-NH-1,2,3-triazoles from nitroolefins and NaN3 employing NH2SO3H has been developed. Sulfamic acid proved to be an efficient additive in this transformation by inhibiting the formation of triaryl benzene. Mechanistic aspects and key intermediates associated with this transformation have also been characterized
