Application of 16681-65-5, New Advances in Chemical Research in 2021. Chemo-enzymatic cascade processes are invaluable due to their ability to rapidly construct high-value products from available feedstock chemicals in a one-pot relay manner. 16681-65-5, name is 1-Methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole, molecular formula is C3H5N3, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
The title compound was prepared according to the patent application WO2008/135826. To a 50 mL 2-necked flask containing 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (1.0 g, 12.0 mmol, prepared according to PCT Int. Appl., 2008098104) was added THF (45 mL) and the colorless solution was cooled to -40 C. Then, n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 4.8 mL) was added dropwise which afforded a dark reddish-brown viscous solution. The mixture was stirred between -30 to -20 C. for 45 minutes, then neat DMF (3 mL, 38.5 mmol) was introduced at -10 C. The mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 60 minutes, followed by pouring into water. The aqueous portion was extracted with EtOAc (4*50 mL) and the combined organics were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The aqueous portion was back-extracted with DCM (3*50 mL) and dried as above. The combined organics were concentrated to give a light brown oil that was much more UV active than the starting material. TLC in either 25% CH3CN-DCM or 25% EtOAc-DCM showed the product to have a slightly higher Rf than the starting material. Chromatography on silica gel (100% DCM increasing to 25% CH3CN-DCM) provided the titled material as a colorless oil.
I am very proud of our efforts over the past few months and hope to 1-Methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole help many people in the next few years.
