Solvent-free Suzuki and Stille cross-coupling reactions of 4- and 5-halo-1,2,3-triazoles

General Method of Synthesis of 5-(Het)arylamino-1,2,3-triazoles via Buchwald-Hartwig Reaction of 5-Amino- or 5-Halo-1,2,3-triazoles

An efficient access to the novel 5-(het)arylamino-1,2,3-triazole derivatives has been developed. The method is based on Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction of 5-Amino or 5-Halo-1,2,3-triazoles with (het)aryl halides and amines, respectively. As result, it was found that palladium complex [(THP-Dipp)Pd(cinn)Cl] bearing expanded-ring N-heterocyclic carbene ligand is the most active catalyst for the process to afford the target molecules in high yields.

New Trends in C-C Cross-Coupling Reactions: The Use of Unconventional Conditions

The ever-growing interest in the cross-coupling reaction and its applications has increased exponentially in the last decade, owing to its efficiency and effectiveness. Transition metal-mediated cross-couplings reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, Heck, and others, are powerful tools for carbon-carbon bond formations and have become truly fundamental routes in catalysis, among other fields. Various greener strategies have emerged in recent years, given the widespread popularity of these important reactions. The present review comprises literature from 2015 onward covering the implementation of unconventional methodologies in carbon-carbon (C-C) cross-coupling reactions that embodies a variety of strategies, from the use of alternative energy sources to solvent- free and green media protocols.

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.
