Synthesis of 5-organostibano-1 H -1,2,3-triazoles by Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition and their application in the acyl-induced deantimonation for the preparation of fully substituted 5-acyl-1,2,3-triazoles

Recent Progress in Catalytic Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazoles

1,2,3-triazoles represent a functional heterocyclic core that has been at the center of modern organic chemistry since the beginning of click chemistry. Being a versatile framework, such an aromatic ring can be observed in uncountable molecules useful in medicine and photochemistry, just to name a few. This review summarizes the progress achieved in their synthesis from 2015 to today, with particular emphasis on the development of new catalytic and eco-compatible approaches. In doing so, we subdivided the report based on their degree of functionalization and, for each subparagraph, we outlined the role of the catalyst employed.

A Route to Triazole-Fused Sultams via Metal-Free Base-Mediated Cyclization of Sulfonamide-Tethered 5-Iodotriazoles

An efficient direct approach to triazole-fused sultams has been developed. The key step of the proposed strategy is base-mediated cyclization of sulfonamide-tethered 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles which are readily available via an improved protocol for Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The annulation of the sultam fragment to the triazole ring proceeds smoothly under transition-metal-free conditions in the presence of Cs₂CO₃ in dioxane at 100 °C and affords fused heterocycles in high yields up to 99%. The favorability of an S_NAr-like mechanism for the cyclization was supported by DFT calculations. The applicability of the developed procedure to modification of natural compounds was demonstrated by preparation of a deoxycholic acid derivative.
