A series of 1,3‐bis(1H‐azol‐1‐yl)‐2‐aryl‐2‐propanols 17 were synthesized in an one‐pot procedure by reacting l‐aryl‐2‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐l‐yl)‐ or l‐aryl‐2‐(1H‐imidazol‐l‐yl)ethanones with dimethylsulfoxonium methide in the presence of either 1,2,4‐triazole or imidazole. The aromatic groups in 17 were either 4‐bromo‐, 4‐chloro‐, 2,4‐dichloro‐ or 2,4‐difluorophenyl. 4‐Amino‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole was acylated with either benzoyl or 4‐toluene‐sulfonyl chloride to afford [4‐(benzoyl or 4‐toluenesulfonyl)amino]4H‐1,2,4‐triazole. Subsequent alkylations with 4‐bromo‐ or 4‐chlorophenacyl bromide produced 1‐(4‐bromo‐ or 4‐chlorophenacyl)‐4‐[(benzoyl‐ or 4‐toluenesulfonyl)amino]‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazolium bromides. Neutralizations of these salts provided the corresponding ylides.
