1- Substituted 1,2,3-triazoles oxidation

N-substituted triazoles on treatment with sulfur give the thione <66MI 402-01, 70JCS(C)2403>, but the corresponding oxidation and amination reactions appear not to be known. 

The oxide group mildly activates 3-substituted 1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides to electrophilic attack. Thus, 3-benzyl-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxide reacted much more rapidly than the unoxidized compound in giving the 5-bromo derivative, and there have been a number of other examples of 5-bromination and 5-chlorination of triazole oxides, including that of the 3-phenyl-l-oxide, which was not para-halogenated [87ACS(B)724]. 

The 4-chloro-substituted triazole 1-oxide 470 could be chlorinated and brominated at the 5-position affording 471 or 472 in excellent yield (1987ACSA(B)724). Even the 3-phenyl compound 470 (R=Ph) reacted regioselectively in the triazole ring confirming the activation conveyed by the N-oxide functionality (Scheme 137). 

The hydroxytriazole 1-oxides 500 and 502 when treated with methyl iodide were methylated predominantly at the N-oxygen affording mesoionic anhydro l-methoxy-3-methyl-4-hydroxy- or 5-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazolium hydroxide 501 or 503 (Scheme 146) (1987ACSA(B)724). In both cases methylation at the C-hydroxy group took place to a minor extent giving rise to methoxy-substituted triazole 1-oxides 499 or 503, respectively. Under similar conditions 3-methyl 4-hydroxy-5-chloro-l,2,3-triazole 1-oxide 505 produced a 2 1 mixture of the C-methoxy and the N-methoxy derivatives 504 and 506. The mesoionic triazoles 501, 503, and 506 were dealkylated upon heating with 1-M sodium methoxide, reforming the hydroxy-substituted N-oxides 500, 502, and 505, respectively. 

No mass spectra of 1,2,3-triazoles were described prior to 1968, when a series of highly substituted triazoles, the oxidation products of 1,2-dicarbonyl-bis-benzoylhydrazones, were investigated. The previously assigned structure of a dihydro-1,2,3,4-tetrazine could be excluded in favor of the 1,2,3-triazole-isoimide (52), which showed a low intensity molecular ion Mt, but a prominent [M-28] ion corresponding to loss of N2 giving (53) (68TL231). The [Af-28] ion underwent further fragmentations as shown in Scheme 1. 

Oxidizing conditions (p. 208) in the synthesis of a fused 2-substituted triazole may be avoided by reacting a 2-halonitrobenzene with a hydrazine. 

The epoxides (styrene oxide) and haloalkyne also participated in this reaction to form 2-substituted triazol-l-yl alcohol regioselectively and bicyclic triazole respectively in high yields (Scheme 30). 

The authors supported the reaction with a possible mechanism via an iminium intermediate (Scheme 4.40). In the first step, the a,p-unsaturated ketone 102a reacts with the catalyst piperidine 103 to generate the iminium intermediate A. Cycloaddition between the iminium species A and the azide 15 generated the triazoline intermediate B, which on hydrolysis of the iminium center and subsequent air oxidation of the triazoline moiety in C resulted in the formation of the fully substituted triazole 104e. 

Triazole has been prepared by the oxidation of substituted 1,2,4-triazoles, by the treatment of urazole with phosphorus pentasulfide, by heating equimolar quantities of formyl-hydrazine and formamide, by removal of the amino function of 4-amino-l,2,4-triazole, by oxidation of l,2,4-triazole-3(5)-thiol with hydrogen peroxide, by decarboxylation of 1,2,4-triazole-3(5)-carboxylic acid, by heating hydrazine salts with form-amide,by rapidly distilling hydrazine hydrate mixed with two molar equivalents of formamide, i by heating N,N -diformyl-hydrazine with excess ammonia in an autoclave at 200° for 24 hours, and by the reaction of 1,3,5-triazine and hydrazine monohydrochloride. ... 

A combination of the preceding type of synthesis and of cyclization of 4-amino-5-arylazopyrimidine can be seen in the novel procedure of Richter and Taylor. Proceeding from phenylazomalonamide-amidine hydrochloride (180), they actually close both rings in this synthesis. The pyrimidine ring (183) is closed by formamide, the triazole (181) one by oxidative cyclization in the presence of cupric sulfate. Both possible sequences of cyclization were used. The synthetic possibilities of this procedure follow from the combination of the two parts. The synthesis was used for 7-substituted 2-phenyl-l,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]-pyrimidines (184, 185). An analogous procedure was employed to prepare the 7-amino derivatives (188) from phenylazomalondiamidine (186). 

Lithium 1,2,4-triazolate with [Rh2( j,-Ph2PCH2PPh2)(CO)2( j.-Cl)]PFj. gives the A-framed complex 177 (L=L = CO) (86IC4597). With one equivalent of terf-butyl isocyanide, substitution of one carbon monoxide ligand takes place to yield 177 (L = CO, L = r-BuNC), whereas two equivalents of rerr-butyl isocyanide lead to the product of complete substitution, 177 (L = L = r-BuNC). The starting complex (L = L = CO) oxidatively adds molecular iodine to give the rhodium(II)-rhodium(II) cationic species 178. 

Since both oxepin and its valence isomer benzene oxide contain a x-tb-diene structure they are prone to Diels-Alder addition reactions. The dienophiles 4-phenyl- and 4-methyl-4//-l,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione react with substituted oxepins at room temperature to give the 1 1 adducts 7 formed by addition to the diene structure of the respective benzene oxide.149 190,222... 

Reduction of the 1//-1,2-benzodiazepines 6 with lithium aluminum hydride results in the dihydro compounds 8, which are dehydrogenated to the 3H-1,2-benzodiazepines 9 by 4-phenyl-4//-l,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione.123 The products readily revert to the 1//-tautomers in the presence of sodium methoxide. 3//-1,2-Benzodiazepines react with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to give mixtures of 1- and 2-oxides, 10 and 11, in which the latter predominate. Treatment of the 2-oxides 11 with nucleophiles provides 3-substituted H- 1.2-benzodiazepines 12. Selected examples are given.124... 

Substituted (5R,6A,)-6-(dimethyl(phenyl)silyl)-2-phenyldihydropyrazolo[l,2- ][l,2,4]triazole-l,3(2//,5//)-dione 716, synthesized via the [3+2] annulation of a-substituted allylic silanes 715 with PTAD, were oxidized to the corresponding hydroxy substituted urazoles 717. This work shows that allylsilanes with a single substituent at the allylic carbon undergo exclusive stereoselective [3+2] annulation (Scheme 114) <2007TL6671>. 

Substitution of the 4-nitro group in 3,4-dinitrofuroxan 1176 by ammonia occurs readily, even at low temperature. Subsequent treatment of the obtained amine, product 1177, with r-butylamine results in formation of 4-amino-2-(/-butyl)-5-nitro-l,2,3-triazole 1-oxide 1178. However, there must be some additional side products in the reaction mixture, as the isolated yield of compound 1178 is only 17%. Upon treatment with trifluoroperacetic acid, the r-butyl group is removed. The obtained triazole system can exist in two tautomeric forms, 1179 and 1180 however, the 1-oxide form 1179 is strongly favored (Scheme 195) <2003CHE608>. 

Several approaches to the 1,2,3-triazole core have been published in 2000. Iodobenzene diacetate-mediated oxidation of hydrazones 152 led to fused 1,2,3-triazoloheterocycles 153 <00SC417>. Treatment of oxazolone 154 with iso-pentyl nitrite in the presence of acetic acid gave 1,2,3-triazole 155, a precursor to 3-(W-l,2,3-triazolyl)-substituted a,P-unsaturated a amino acid derivatives <00SC2863>. Aroyl-substituted ketene aminals 156 reacted with aryl azides to provide polysubstituted 1,23-triazoles 157 <00HC387>. 2-Aryl-2T/,4/f-imidazo[43-d][l,2,3]triazoles 159 were prepared from the reaction of triethyl AM-ethyl-2-methyl-4-nitro-l//-imidazol-5-yl phosphoramidate (158) with aryl isocyanates <00TL9889>. 

A number of 2H-1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides 72 were prepared by chemists at the Cassella Company as potential NO-donors in view of their formal structural similarity with furoxan derivatives [18]. Derivative 72a was studied in depth. It was obtained by cupric sulfate oxidation of intermediate 79, derived from the action of the substituted phenylhydrazine 78 on the oximino acetoacetic acid amide 77 (Scheme 6.13). 

Aminotriazoles and their derivatives can be prepared from bis hydrazones and from substituted bis hydrazones of a-diketones. The bis hydrazones may in some cases be prepared more conveniently from -bromoketones than from a-diketones. Oxidation with mercuric oxide or with manganese dioxide gives the 1-aminotriazoles directly (Scheme m-ns Although two isomeric triazoles would be ex-... 

Oxidation of a-diketone hydrazone imines with cuprammonium salts gives 2/f-triazoles. With substituted imines (using W-bromosuccin-imide as oxidant) 1,2-disubstituted triazolium salts are obtained (Scheme 33). ...
