The catalytic oxidation of α‐ketotriazoles to α,β‐diketotriazoles was performed with CuCl2 or CuI/2,9‐dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline in air at 80 °C in good yields. Studies showed that the triazole group participates in complexation to the copper and favors oxidation.
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.
