1.2.3- Triazoles removal

Replacement of imidazole by triazole removes a metabolic site (triazole is more stable towards electrophilic attack). 

The symmetrical use of a second triazole removes an asymmetric centre, so obviating the need for resolution. Triazole and hydroxyl groups keep overall lipophilicity low. The hydroxyl is sterically hindered, hence does not undergo conjugation. 

Nitric acid may be precipitated by nitron [2218-94-2] (4,5-dihydro-l,4-diphenyl-3,5-phenylimino-l,2,4-triazole). The yellow precipitate maybe seen at dilutions as low as 1 60,000 at 25°C or 1 80,000 at 0°C. To prevent nitrous acid from interfering with the test results, it may be removed by treating the solution with hydrazine sulfate, sodium azide, or sulfamic acid. 

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. ... 

An indole protected by a Mannich reaction with formaldehyde and dimethyl-amine is stable to lithiation. The protective group is removed with NaBH4 (EtOH, THE, reflux). The related piperidine analogue has been used similarly for the protection of a triazole. ... 

Chloro-2-(3-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yDbenzophenone (Oxidation of 7solution prepared by adding sodium periodate (2 g) to a stirred suspension of ruthenium dioxide (200 mg) in water (35 ml). The mixture became dark. Additional sodium periodate 18 g) was added during the next 15 minutes. The ice-bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for 45 minutes. Additional sodium periodate (4 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours and filtered. The solid was washed with acetone and the combined filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was suspended in water and extracted with methylene chloride. The extract was dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica... 

This residue is dissolved in isopropyl alcohol and 1 gram N-bis-chloroethyl-aniline is added to it. The mixture is refluxed for 3 hours. The solvent is removed at a reduced pressure, the residue is treated with 50% potassium carbonate, and extracted with ether. By treating with ethereal hydrochloric acid, 2-N -m-chlorophenylpiperazino-propyl-s-triazole-[4,3-al-pyridine-3-one hydrochloride is precipitated MP 223°C. 

Another interesting scavenger is polymer-supported anthracene, developed by Porco for the scavenging of dienophiles [109]. An example of its application to the synthesis of a complex 5,8-dihydro-(l,2,4)triazolo[l,2-a]pyridazine-l,3-diones via hetero-Diels-Alder reaction followed by removal of the excess of triazole-3,5-dione under microwave irradiation is depicted in Scheme 24. For this particular example, moving from thermal heating (toluene, 100 °C) to a microwave-assisted protocol (DCE, 150 °C) reduced scavenging time from 3 h to just 15 min. 

Esters of a-diazoalkylphosphonic acids (95) show considerable thermal stability but react with acids, dienophiles, and triphenylphosphine to give the expected products. With olefinic compounds in the presence of copper they give cyclopropane derivatives (96), but with no such compounds present vinylphosphonic esters are formed by 1,2-hydrogen shift, or, when this route is not available, products such as (97) or (98) are formed, resulting from insertion of a carbenoid intermediate into C—C or C—H bonds. The related phosphonyl (and phosphoryl) azides (99) add to electron-rich alkynes to give 1,2,3-triazoles, from which the phosphoryl group is readily removed by hydrolysis. 

After complete removal of solvent, the vacuum is broken gently and the colorimeter cells are then heated in an oven at 75° to 80° C. for exactly 30 minutes. It is during this heating period that, in an actual analysis, any Compound 118 is quantitatively converted to the triazole. 

Complete removal of excess phenyl azide after triazole formation is necessary to ensure reproducible results. 

The complex [Ir(ppy)2(dpt-NH2)]PF6 (175), dpt-NH2 4-ami no-3,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-477-1,2,-4-triazole, (176), has been synthesized and characterized319 A reversible, one-electron oxidation of (175) is assigned to removal of an electron from an Ir (/--based orbital. (175) luminesces at room temperature and 77 K. The complex (175), when immobilized in a polymeric matrix, acts as an... 

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>. 

In a quite different approach, shown in Scheme 204, cycloaddition of nitrile 1232 to trimethylsilyldiazomethane provides silylated triazole 1233, isolated in 75% yield. Treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride removes the trimethylsilyl group and simultaneously the silyl protection of the carboxylic group to afford 4-substituted triazole derivative 1234 in 81% yield <2003PEN699>. 

The reaction of 4-substituted furazans 190 and 192 with morpholinonitroethene gave the corresponding 1,2,3-triazoles 191 and 193 in high yields (Equations 36 and 37). It should also be mentioned that, in order to facilitate the cycloaddition of azide, the reaction was carried out in the presence of orthoformic ester for removal of morpholine from the reaction medium, otherwise decomposition of the starting azide occurs <2000CHE343>. 

A. 1,4-Diphenyl-5-amino-l,2,3-triazole. A 500-ml. three-necked flask is equipped with a sealed stirrer, a thermometer well, and a dropping funnel which is protected by a drying tube and has a pressure-equalizing side arm. A mixture of 35.7 g. (0.3 mole) of phenyl azide (Note 1) and 38.6 g. (0.33 mole) of phenylacetonitrile (Note 2) is placed in the flask. The flask is immersed in an ice-water mixture contained in a 1-gal. Thermos flask. After the reaction mixture has cooled to about 2°, a solution of 24.3 g. (0.45 mole) of sodium methoxide (Note 3) in 150 ml. of absolute ethanol is added dropwise during the course of 2 hours. The reaction mixture is then stirred at 2-5° in the ice-water bath for a period of 48 hours (Note 4). After the cooling bath has been removed and the flask allowed to warm spontaneously to room temperature, the mixture is filtered by suction on a sintered glass funnel, and the col-... 

In a study on [l,2,4]triazolo[3,4-3][l,3,5]thiadiazines, mass spectral fragmentation of the 3-aryl-6-methyl derivative 33 (see Scheme 2) has been determined by Wang et al. <2001SC2841>. These authors found that elimination of the methylimine formaldehyde takes place first to form a thiazetidine ring 34 and, finally, removal of a CH2 group the 2-mercapto-5-aryl[l,2,4]triazole 35 can be observed. 

Most of the important general methods of forming IZf-triazole derivatives involve azides several reviews discuss aspects of the formation of triazoles in this way. a-Diketones are also important precursors of both H- and 2 f-triazoles. Triazoles unsubstituted on nitrogen can be prepared by the direct addition of hydrazoic acid or of azide ion, but it is often more convenient to obtain these compounds by removal of a substituent from a H- or 2if-substituted triazole (Section IV, E). 

Relatively few additions of the lower molecular weight alkyl azides have been performed, mainly because of their volatility and thermal sensitivity simple alkyltriazoles are normally obtained by alkylation of the w-triazoles. On the other hand, a very wide range of less volatile substituted alkyl azides has been added to acetylenes Their addition to acetylenic esters usually proceeds readily and provides a useful method of characterizing the azides. Benzyl azide has often been used because it is relatively stable (up to 150°), it is readily prepared, and the benzyl group can be removed from the resulting triazoles (Section IV, E). 

A 1-toluene-p-sulfonyl substituent is reported to be removed by boiling the triazole in ethanol. Many triazole syntheses involving cycloaddition of toluene-p-sulfonyl azide give the NH triazole directly. 

When R2 substituent is flourocontaining alkyl group, the transformation 17 18 becomes hindered and its proceeding requires some special methods. For example, in [48] Biginelli-like cyclocondensations based on three-component treatment of 3-amino-l,2,4-triazole or 5-aminotetrazole with aldehydes and fluorinated 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds were investigated. It was shown that the reaction can directly lead to dihydroazolopyrimidines 20, but in the most cases intermediate tetrahydroderivatives 19 were obtained (Scheme 10). To carry out dehydration reaction, refluxing of tetrahydroderivatives 19 in toluene in the presence of p-TSA with removal of the liberated water by azeotropic distillation was used. The same situation was observed for the linear reaction proceeding via the formation of unsaturated esters 21. 

After the optimization of these conditions, by adding an azide to the input stream it was possible to synthesize a range of substituted triazoles in a heterogeneously catalysed three-component reaction (Scheme 18). After the CFC, the stream was passed through a column containing a resin-immobilized copper-based catalyst, which was used in a previous work by the same authors to successfully catalyze the formation of triazoles from alkynes and azides [44]. An immobilized thiourea-containing cartridge was subsequently used to remove any leached Cu catalyst. In a similar way as for the alkynes production, the series of resins was used to purify the product. 

This isomerization was confirmed by means of a detailed kinetic NMR study (90T633), but is not detrimental to the synthesis of substituted 1,2,4-triazoles, because in all cases removal of the protecting group leads to a tautomeric mixture of 3- and 5-substituted products. The methods available for removal of the animal function actually depend upon the nature of the added C-5 substituent, with acid hydrolysis occurring only in some cases. More commonly, treatment with NaBH in refluxing ethanol is the method of choice (90T633). Lithiation and derivatization of the SEM protected compound (entry 6) can be achieved without the isomerization shown by the animal derivative, and deprotection can be achieved with either aqueous acid or anhydrous fluoride ion [92H(34)303], However, overall reaction yields are not as high as those for the aminal system.
