Efficient, mild synthesis of N-unsubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from methanolysis of 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles
摘要:
A small library of diverse N-unsubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles was prepared from the corresponding 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles, which were treated only with MeOH at reflux temperature. This process was carried out in good yields showing high efficiency and good functional group tolerance.[GRAPHICS].
N-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles react with water in the presence of a rhodium catalyst to produce alpha-amino ketones in high yield. An intermediary alpha-imino rhodium(II) carbenoid undergoes insertion into the O-H bond of water. This transformation formally achieves 1,2-aminohydroxylation of terminal alkynes in a regioselective fashion when combined with the copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with N-sulfonyl azides.
