Abstract

The synthesis of N2-aryl 1,2,3-triazoles from 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles was achieved under photochemical conditions. This simple and mild one-step reaction provides regiospecific access to 2,4,5-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles via a nitrile imine intermediate. Syntheses of alkyl and heterocylic derivatives were also investigated.

Key words

photochemistry - regioselectivity - tetrazole - triazole - indazole

28 Representative Example for the Preparation of 2,5-Diaryl Tetrazoles: 5-Phenyl-2-(p-tolyl)-2H-tetrazole (5f) A solution of p-tolyl boronic acid (1.86 g, 13.7 mmol), 5-phenyl tetrazole (1.00 g, 6.84 mmol), and Cu₂O (5 mol%, 0.049 g, 0.342 mmol) in DMSO (30 mL) was stirred under O₂ (1 atm) at 110 °C for 6 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, diluted with EtOAc (200 mL) and washed successively with 1 M HCl aq solution (30 mL) and brine (30 mL) three times. The organic phase was separated, dried, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash column chromatography (Si, 50 g, 0–10% EtOAc–cyclohexane, 60 min) gave 5-phenyl-2-(p-tolyl)-2H-tetrazole 5f (1.51 g, 93%) as a white solid; mp 103–104 °C.

Representative Example for the Preparation of 2,4,5-Trisubstituted 1,2,3-Triazoles: 4,5-Diphenyl-2-(p-tolyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole (9f) A solution of 5-phenyl-2-(p-tolyl)-2H-tetrazole 5f (200 mg, 0.85 mmol) in 2-PrOH–2-MeTHF (1:1, 10 mL) was stirred under irradiation with a UVB lamp (270–330 nm) for 19 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by reverse-phase chromatography (Si C₁₈, 50–95% MeCN–H₂O, HCO₂H modifier, 30 min) to give 4,5-diphenyl-2-(p-tolyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole 9f (62 mg, 47%) as a brown gum.
