One‐pot, Multicomponent Cascade Reaction for the Synthesis of Various Aralkyl/alkylthio‐3,5‐dimethyl‐1 H ‐pyrazolyl‐4 H ‐1,2,4‐triazol‐4‐amine and Their Docking Studies

Highly Luminescent 4H-1,2,4-Triazole Derivatives: Synthesis, Molecular Structure and Photophysical Properties

An alternative approach to the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction is used to synthesize a series of new luminophores based on 4-alkyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole cores conjugated via 1,4-phenylene linker to fused-bicyclic and tricyclic aromatic, or heteroaromatic arrangements. The described methodology allows one to conduct the coupling reaction with the use of commercially available boronic acids in the presence of conventional solvents or ionic liquids and produced excellent yields. It was found that the use of ultrasounds or microwaves significantly accelerates the reaction. The obtained compounds exhibited high luminescent properties and a large quantum yield of emitted photons. The X-ray molecular structures of three highly conjugated 4H-1,2,4-triazole representatives are also presented.
