A one‐pot approach for the synthesis of 2‐aryl‐5‐amino‐1,2,3‐triazoles is reported. This approach involves a tandem nucleophilic addition of alkylamines to hydrazonoyl cyanides and in situ oxidative cyclization of the resulting 2‐(arylazo)ethene‐1,1‐diamines in the presence of copper(II) acetate and air. The described one‐pot procedure is characterized by good yields, excellent selectivity, methodical simplicity, and uses readily available chemicals. This method was applied to the gram‐scale synthesis of 2‐aryl‐1,2,3‐triazoles.
The reactions of 2 arylhydrazono 2 carbamoylacetamidoximes with orthoesters afford either 3 arylhydrazono 1,2,4 oxadiazoles or 1,2,3 triazoles, depending on the reactant structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
