In peptide syntheses, where partial racemization of the chiral a-carbon centers is a serious problem, the application of 1-hydroxy-1 H-benzotriazole ( HBT") and DCC has been very successful in increasing yields and decreasing racemization (W. Kdnig, 1970 G.C. Windridge, 1971 H.R. Bosshard, 1973), l-(Acyloxy)-lif-benzotriazoles or l-acyl-17f-benzo-triazole 3-oxides are formed as reactive intermediates. If carboxylic or phosphoric esters are to be formed from the acids and alcohols using DCC, 4-(pyrrolidin-l -yl)pyridine ( PPY A. Hassner, 1978 K.M. Patel, 1979) and HBT are efficient catalysts even with tert-alkyl, choles-teryl, aryl, and other unreactive alcohols as well as with highly bulky or labile acids. 

Using method a, oligodeoxyribonucleotides were synthesized from di- to deca-deoxyribonucleotides by means of mesitylenesulfonylimidazole and mesitylenesulfonyl-1,2,4-triazole. With triisoproylbenzenesulfonylimidazole die condensation took place more slowly.11121 Compared widi the corresponding arylsulfonyl chlorides, imidazolides induced intemucleotide condensation much more slowly, but caused no darkening of the reaction mixture, did not affect acid-sensitive bonds in trityl protected nucleotides, and did not sulfonate the 3 -hydroxy groups.11111 The reaction conditions were room temperature, 5—6 days, and pyridine as solvent.11111... 

Some interesting fused 1,2,3-triazole ring systems have been reported. A series of 5-piperidyl-substituted 7-hydroxy-3f/-l,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines 143 has been synthesized from pipecolinate esters, benzylazides, and cyanoacetamide <06CHE246>. 4-Alkylidene-5,6-dihydro-4//-pyrrolo-[l,2-c][l,2,3]triazoles 144 were prepared from alkylidenecyclopropanes via diiodogenation/Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/intra-molecular Heck reaction sequence <06SL1446>. 6,6-Dimethyl-2-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-27/-benzotriazol-4-one 145 were prepared from A-(5,5-dimethyl-3-oxocyclohexenyl)-S,S-diphenylsulfilimine and...

Examples of the Dimroth rearrangement (Section IV, F) include several s3mtheses of monocyclic triazoles from other heterocyclic systems (cf. Scheme 25). Triazole-5-thiols can be prepared by treatment of 5-amino-l,2,3-thiadiazoles with bases.A similar base-induced rearrangement of sydnoneimines provides a synthesis of 4-hydroxy-triazoles. ... 

Hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles with an aryl or carbonyl function at C(4) are similarly synthesized from azides and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. 

A number of general methods for the synthesis of meso-ionic 1,2,4-triazol-3-ones are available. Sodium ethoxide-catalyzed cyclization of 1-benzoyl-l,4-diphenylsemicarbazide (201, R = R = R = Ph, X = O) yielded anhydro-3-hydroxy-1,4,5-triphenyl-1,2,4-triazolium hydroxide (200, R = R = R = Ph). A general route to meso-ionic 1,2,4-triazol-3-ones (200) is exemplified by the formation of the 1,4,5-triphenyl derivative (200, R = R = R = Ph) from A-amino-MA -diphenylbenzamidine (202, R = R = R = Ph) and phosgene. In contrast with this ready meso-ionic compound formation, the corresponding reaction of the iV-methylbenzamidine (202, R = Me, R = R = Ph) did not yield the meso-ionic 1,2,4-triazol-3-one (200, R = Me, R = R = Ph). The product was in fact 3,4-diphenyl-2-methyl-l,2,4-triazol-5-onium chloride (203), which on heating gave 3,4-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (204, R = Ph). The formation of the A-methyl derivative (200, R = Me, R = R = Ph, yield 79%) by heating the 7V-thiobenzoyl semicarbazide (201, R = Me, R = R = Ph, X = S) with potassium carbonate in methyl cyanide has been reported. Another synthesis of A-methyl derivatives (200, R = Me) involves methylation of 3-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazol-5-one (204,... 

A novel ring-closure starting from 2-aryl-l-(12/-l,2,4-triazol-l-yl)alk-3-yn-2-ols has been reported <2006T8966>. Treatment of these alkynols with Bt2 at room temperature yielded 5-alkyl-7-aryl-6-bromo-7-hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-[l,2,4]triazolo[l,2- ]pyridazin-4-ium bromides which upon hydrolysis give 3-alkyl-5-arylpyridazines. 

Diazo(trimethylsilyl)methyl lithium (3) was found to be the reagent of choice for the synthesis of azoles from heterocumulenes (Scheme 8.43). The reaction is typically carried out in ether at 0-20 °C. Thus, alkyl- (or aryl-)substituted keteni-mines are transformed into 1,2,3-triazoles 188 (246), while C-acceptor-substituted ketenimines yield either 4-aminopyrazoles 189 or 1,2,3-triazoles, depending on the substituents (247). Isocyanates are converted into 5-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles 190 (248). Reaction of 3 with isothiocyanates are strongly solvent dependent. 

Silyl-substituted diazoketones 29 cycloadd with aryl isocyanates to form 1,2,3-triazoles 194 (252) (Scheme 8.44). This reaction, which resembles the formation of 5-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazoles 190 in Scheme 8.43, has no analogy with other diazocarbonyl compounds. The beneficial effect of the silyl group in 29 can be seen from the fact that related diazomethyl-ketones do not react with phenyl isocyanate at 70 °C (252). Although the exact mechanistic details are unknown, one can speculate that the 2-siloxy-1-diazo-1-alkene isomer 30 [rather than 29 (see Section 8.1)] is involved in the cycloaddition step. With acyl isocyanates, diazoketones 29 cycloadd to give 5-acylamino-l,2,3-thiadiazoles 195 by addition across the C=S bond (252), in analogy with the behavior of diazomethyl-ketones and diazoacetates (5). 

Under Vilsmeier-Haack conditions 1-substituted 5-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazoles were converted into the chloroaldehydes (75) in 60-90% yields (84JHCI603) (Scheme 27). Phosphorus pentachloride in toluene gave the 5-chloro derivatives from some ethyl 5-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazole-... 

A method to prepare 2a based on the work of a related analog [4] was employed for the first mulh-kilogram campaign. In this approach, 2a was prepared from lactam 5, which is derived from an optically enriched P-hydroxy acid. This method requires introduction of the amino group as an 0-benzylhydroxylamine, which we hoped would sufficiently protect the amino group of 2b during amide formation with triazole 3. 

Two 4-substituted 1,2,4-triazole 1-oxides, namely 2-(l -hydroxymethylene-2-oxo-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline-1-yl)-4-allyl-5-methylthio 1,2,4-triazole 1-oxide 530 (1984H695) and 4-hydroxy-l,2,4-triazole 1-oxide 531 (1995J CS(P1)243), (Scheme 157) derived from the parent species 528 (Scheme 156), have been described. The compounds were characterized by their H NMR and C NMR spectra. 

Attempts to alkylate the 4-hydroxy-l,2,4-triazoles 535 with Mel, Me2S04, or PhCH2Br using different bases and solvents invariantly gave difficult to separate mixtures. However, diazomethane methylated 535 to 534 together with the O-methylated isomer in a 1 2.2 ratio from which the pure N-oxide 534 could be isolated. Acylation of 535 with PhNCO gave the N-oxide 536 (1972JPR101) (Scheme 159).
