A concise and practical synthesis of a 1,4-diaryl-5-methyl-1,2,3-triazole is described. A mGluR1 antagonist 1 was prepared with one-pot operation by the Negishi coupling reaction between two building blocks, 5-bromophthalimidine (2) and 1-aryl-5-methyl-4-triazolylzinc (3-Zn ). Bromide 2 was synthesized via N-selective cyclization of o-hydroxymethylbenzamide 8 easily prepared from phthalide 4. Zinc species 3-Zn was generated in situ by transmetalation of 1-aryl-4-magnesio-5-methyltriazole (3-Mg ), which in turn was generated by the regioselective click chemistry between 2,4-difluorophenylazide (5) and propynylmagnesium bromide. The risk assessment of potentially explosive arylazides is also mentioned.

Three different alpha-chloroaldoxime O-methanesulfonates were synthesized to investigate their chemical properties. The compounds were found to be stable and were able to be stored at ambient temperature without any precautions. The reactions with anilines were investigated, and it was found that an additive is required to activate the sulfonate. TMEDA was found to be the most efficient additive, and various benzimidazoles were synthesized through the reaction.
