The reactions of β‐azolylenamines 1 with sulfonyl azides 2 in acetonitrile furnished 1H‐4‐(azol‐5‐yl)‐1,2,3‐triazoles 3 in yields of 52–93 %. β‐Benzoylenaminones and β‐nitroenamine of type 1 also reacted with tosyl azide to form the same type of products 3, proving the generality and efficiency of the method for the synthesis of N‐unsubstituted 1,2,3‐triazoles. On the other hand, the reactions of 3‐(1‐aryl‐1,2,3‐triazol‐5‐yl)enamines with tosyl azide in the absence of a solvent afforded a mixture of (E)‐1‐dimethylamino‐2‐tosylaminoethenes 5 and N,N‐dimethyl‐N′‐tosylformamidine 6 in yields of 40–50 and 20 %, respectively. The formation of a variety of compounds from the reactions of enamines 1 with sulfonyl azides 2 is rationalized by the various possible transformations of the intermediate 5‐dimethylamino‐1,2,3‐triazolines 7.
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.
