Abstract

A concise, convenient and mild route for the one-pot syntheses of N-aryl- and N-alkyltriazoles in water is reported. The methodology involves the three-component reaction comprising phenylacetylene, sodium azide and aryl/alkyl halide catalyzed by Cu(I) species generated in situ by a redox reaction between FeCl3 and copper metal. Prominent features of our methodology are in­corporation of aryl fluoride to generate N-aryltriazoles, which are rather scarcely reported, use of water as reaction medium, and avoidance of hazardous aryl azide as a reactant.

Key words

multicomponent reaction - triazole - Cu-FeCl3 - redox reaction

General Procedure for the Preparation of 1-(2-Nitrophenyl)-4-phenyl-1 H -[1,2,3]triazole ( 3a): 1-Fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (2.0 mmol), phenylacetylene (2.2 mmol), sodium azide (2.2 mmol) and NaHCO3 (2.2 mmol) were suspended in H2O (10 mL) in a 50-mL round-bottomed flask equipped with a small magnetic stirring bar. To this was added copper powder (100 mg) and ferric chloride (100 mg). The mixture was then heated to reflux for 7 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and EtOAc (50 mL) was added. The suspension was passed through a bed of celite and the filtrate was partitioned in a separating funnel. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to afford a residue, which was purified by silica gel chromatography using hexane-EtOAc (70:30) as eluent to afford 3a as a yellow solid.
