Copper-catalyzed alkyne cycloaddition on electron deficient azides via tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

2,4-Bis(4-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines: synthesis and tuning of optical properties by polar substituents

Novel D–π–A–π–D type chromophores – 2,4-bis(4-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines were prepared and their photophysical, electrochemical properties in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations were investigated.

Long-range 1H-15N J couplings providing a method for direct studies of the structure and azide-tetrazole equilibrium in a series of azido-1,2,4-triazines and azidopyrimidines

The selectively (15)N labeled azido-1,2,4-triazine 2*A and azidopyrimidine 4*A were synthesized by treating hydrazinoazines with (15)N-labeled nitrous acid. The synthesized compounds were studied by (1)H, (13)C, and (15)N NMR spectroscopy in DMSO, TFA, and DMSO/TFA solutions, where the azide-tetrazole equilibrium could lead to the formation of two tetrazoles (T, T') and one azide (A) isomer for each compound. The incorporation of the (15)N label led to the appearance of long-range (1)H-(15)N coupling constants (J(HN)), which can be measured easily by using amplitude-modulated 1D (1)H spin-echo experiments with selective inversion of the (15)N nuclei. The observed J(HN) patterns enable the unambiguous determination of the mode of fusion between the azole and azine rings in the two groups of tetrazole isomers (2*T', 4*T' and 2*T, 4*T), even for minor isoforms with a low concentration in solution. However, the azide isomers (2*A and 4*A) are characterized by the absence of detectable J(HN) coupling. The analysis of the J(HN) couplings in (15)N-labeled compounds provides a simple and efficient method for direct NMR studies of the azide-tetrazole equilibrium in solution.
