Abstract

In this work, a series of 4-aryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one derivatives is synthesized through nucleophilic intramolecular cyclization reactions of ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(arylimino)ethyl)hydrazine-1-carboxylate intermediates, which are themselves prepared in high yields via reactions of ethyl chloroformate and N-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroacetimidoyl chloride derivatives. Some of the merits of the reported procedure are an operationally simple and concise method, the ready availability of starting materials, excellent product yields, no formation of harmful by-products and easy purification of the products.
