The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis 3-Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole. I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
Reference of 7170-01-6, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 7170-01-6, name is 3-Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.
Procedure: A 500 mL round bottom flask was loaded with 4-methoxy-7-chloro-6-azaindole 2e (9.1 g, 50 mmol; dried in vacuo), potassium carbonate (13.8 g, 100 mmol, 2 eq.), copper powder (6.35 g, 100 mmol, 2 eq.), and 3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole (83 g, 1.0 mol, 20 eq.). The solid mixture was heated to melt at 170-175 C. (external oil bath temperature) under a gentle stream of anhydrous nitrogen for 12 h, by which time HPLC analysis indicated that the amount of the peak for the starting material had become 5-30% and the desired product peak becomes about 45% with isomeric by-product peak becomes 15%. As the reaction mixture cooled, MeOH (150 mL) was added slowly to the warm, stirred mixture. Upon cooling, the insoluble material (copper powder) was filtered through a Celite pad, and rinsed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to a thick paste which was diluted with water (1 L) and extracted with EtOAc (3¡Á150 mL). The EtOAc extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to obtain about 8 g of crude residue which was crystallized by dissolving in hot CH3CN (50 mL), followed by diluting with water (100 mL) and cooling at 0 C. to collect 1.45 g (12.7%) of the title compound as white solid. The filtrate was purified by C-18 reverse phase silica gel (YMC ODS-A 75 mum) eluted with 15-30% CH3CN/H2O. Appropriate fractions were combined and the aqueous solution after removing CH3CN by rotary evaporator was lyophilized to give additional 1.15 g of the title compound 3-81. The crude aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc several times. The ethyl acetate extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered, concentrated, and crystallized from MeOH to give additional 200 mg of the title compound 3-81. The total yield: 2.8 g (12.2 mmol, Y. 24.5%); MS m/z 230 (MH), HRMS (ESI) m/z calcd for C11H12N5O (M+H), 230.1042, found 230.1038 (Delta-1.7 ppm); 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta ppm 2.54 (3H, s, CH3), 4.05 (3H, s, OCH3), 6.73 (1H, s, H-3), 7.40 (1H, s, H-2), 7.56 (1H, s, H-5), 9.15 (1H, s, triazole-H-5); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 125.7 MHz) 8 ppm 14.2 (triazole-Me), 56.3 (OMe), 100.5 (C-3), 116.9 (C-5), 123.5, 127.2, 127.5 (C-2), 129.5 (C-7), 141.2 (C-5′), 149.5 (C-4), 161.8 (C-3′); Anal. Calcd for C11H11N5O: C 57.63; H 4.83; N 30.55, found C, 57.37, H, 4.64, N, 30.68. The structure was confirmed by a single X-ray crystallographic analysis using crystals obtained from C-18 column fractions. A portion of C-18 column fractions containing a mixture of the desired 3-methyl-1,2,4-triazolyl analog 3-81 and isomeric 5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolyl analog 4-81 was further purified by C-18 reverse phase column eluting with 8-10% CH3CN/H2O. Appropriate fractions were extracted with CH2Cl2, and slow evaporation of the solvent gave crystalline material of the isomeric 7-(5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolyl)-4-methoxy-6-azaindole (4-81): MS m/z 230 (MH), 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta ppm 3.05 (3H, s, CH3), 4.07 (3H, s, OCH3), 6.74 (1H, q, J=2.4, H-2), 7.37 (1H, t, J=2.4, H-3), 7.65 (1H, s, H-5), 8.07 (1H, s, triazole-H-3). The structure was confirmed by a single X-ray crystallographic analysis.
