1.2.3- Triazoles, 1-substituted 5-hydroxy

We do not discuss in detail the cases of tautomerism of heterocycles embedded in supramolecular structures, such as crown ethers, cryptands, and heterophanes, because such tautomerism is similar in most aspects to that displayed by the analogous monocyclic heterocycles. We concentrate here on modifications that can be induced by the macrocyclic cavity. Tire so-called proton-ionizable crown ethers have been discussed in several comprehensive reviews by Bradshaw et al. [90H665 96CSC(1)35 97ACR338, 97JIP221J. Tire compounds considered include tautomerizable compounds such as 4(5)-substituted imidazoles 1///4//-1,2,4-triazoles 3-hydroxy-pyridines and 4-pyridones. 

Hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles are known, but their detailed structure apparently has not as yet been investigated with respect to theit existence in hydroxy or oxo forms. Suitably substituted hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles (120) can undergo another type of tautomerism to give the... 

Other 7- substituents that have been introduced include the dialkylamino, acetamido, hydroxy, alkoxy and alkylthio groups (B-71MI11209). Acylation of the 7-amino group by heterocycles such as cyanuric chloride and its derivatives was inevitable, as was incorporation of a 7-triazole substitution pattern by diazotization of the 7-amino group and o-coupling with 2-naphthylamine followed by triazolization (94). 

Phosphorous derivatives have been shown by Regitz and his collaborators to be useful in the synthesis of substituted hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles, which probably can be hydrolyzed by analogy to many related synthetic routes... 

For N-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazole, the zwitterionic structure 128 was suggested [89AX(C)782,96CHEC-II(4)127]. Whereas N -substituted 3-hydroxy-1,2,5-triazoles prefer the hydroxy form 129, 2-hydroxy-1,3,4-triazoles exist as 0X0 forms 130 (Scheme 49) [76AHC(S1), pp. 380,383,388,389],... 

Diazonium salts couple to hydroxy-substituted vicinal triazoles (101) with subsequent rearrangement of the hydroxy arylazo compounds (102) to the carbamoyl tetrazole (104).170 An open-chain intermediate (103) has been proposed.169 This rearrangement is similar to that of the benzoyl... 

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>. 

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... 

The 3-hetaryl-substituted 6-hydroxy- and 6-thiol[l,2,4]triazolo[3,4-A][l,2,4]thiadiazoles 28 and 29 on treatment with hydrazine hydrate gave the 3-hetaryl-substituted 4-amino-5-hydrazino-[l,2,4]triazoles 30 (Equation 3) <1990IJB135>. 

The most widely used method for the preparation of [l,2,4]triazolo[3,4-A][l,3,4]thiadiazoles 85 employs 4-amino-5-thio-4/7-[l,2,4]triazoles 83 or 4-amino[l,2,4]-triazole-5(47T)-thiones 84 as starting materials. The reaction of the triazoles 83 or 84 with carbonic acid derivatives furnishes [l,2,4]triazolo[3,4-4][l,3,4]thiadiazoles with a heteroatom substituent (N, O, S) at position 6 the O- and S-functions are formulated as 6-hydroxy and 6-thio derivatives 85a or as thiadiazol-(5/7)6-ones and -thiadiazole-(577)6-thiones 85b, respectively reaction with carboxylic acid derivatives provides the 6-substituted-[l,2,4]triazolo[3,4-4][l,3,4]-thiadiazoles 85c (Equation 20 Table 3).

The vapor-phase pyrolysis of 4-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazole and its iV-methyl derivative affords methan-imine and its A-methyl analog. Analysis of the reaction path by the MNDO method shows the presence of two stable or metastable isomers, (liif)-4-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazole and its ketone protomer <89NJC551>. 4-Diazo-1,2,3-triazoles (122) thermolyze or photolyze in benzene to 4//-l,2,3-tri-azolylidenes (123) which convert benzene to 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazoles and/or isomerize to a-diazo-nitriles (124). Intermediates (124) react with benzene via a carbene to give addition, ring expansion or substitution products (Scheme 17) <82TL5115>. The similar thermolysis of diazotriazoles in substituted benzene gives complex mixtures in which all of the components are sometimes impossible to isolate and identify <90AHC(48)65>. 

The 5-unsubstituted-l,2,3-triazol-4-ones (176, R = H) participate in electrophilic substitution reactions. Bromination in chloroform of anhydro-4-hydroxy-l,3-dimethyl-1,2,3-triazolium hydroxide (180) gave its 5-bromo derivative (182). The meso-ionic 3-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-ones (176, R = Me, R = Ar, R = H) gave 5-bromo derivatives (176, R = Me, R = Ar, R = Br) with bromine in acetic acid. Their reaction with sulphur monochloride gave the sulfide (189, X = S), and with thionyl chloride they gave the sulfoxide (189, X = SO). ... 

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-... 

The aromatic 2-substituted 1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides are represented by the structure 341. The parent compound 342 is one of the three possible tautomeric forms of 1-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazole 343. 1-Hydroxy-l,2,3-triazoles 343 constitute a separate group of compounds, which are not included in the present review (Scheme 101). 

Despite many attempts it has not been possible to oxidize 2-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles 382 to the corresponding 1-oxides 326. Peracetic acid, 3-chloroperbenzoic acid, dichloropermaleic acid, trifluoroperacetic acid, peroxydisulfuric acid, and f-pentyl hydrogen peroxide in the presence of molybdenum pentachloride all failed to oxidize 382 (1981JCS(P1)503). Alkylation of 1-hydroxytriazoles 443 invariantly produced the isomeric 3-substituted 1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides 448 (see Scheme 132). However, the 2-substituted 1,2,3-triazole 1-oxides 326 can be prepared by oxidative cyclization of 2-hydroxyiminohydrazones (1,2-hydrazonooximes, a-hydrazonooximes) 345 or by cyclization of azoxyoximes 169. Additional methods of more limited scope are reaction of nitroisoxazoles 353 with aryl-diazonium ion and base, and reaction of nitroimidazoles 355 with hydroxy-amine- or amine-induced rearrangement of nitro-substituted furoxanes 357.
