title: Polymer-supported 1,3-oxazolium-5-olates: synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles.
abstract: A traceless synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles has been developed on polymeric supports. The synthetic process utilizes immobilized mesoionic 1,3-oxazolium-5-olates (munchnones) as key intermediates in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The initial step in the synthesis involves reductive alkylation of phenylglycine methyl esters with Ameba resin. The resulting immobilized amino acid esters were subsequently acylated with a variety of carboxylic acid chlorides and subjected to hydrolysis with 15% KOH to yield the polymer-bound carboxylic acids. Finally, the cycloaddition between diethyl diazocarboxylate or 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione and the polymer-bound munchnones generated from the corresponding carboxylic acids afforded the polymer-bound 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles. Cleavage from the polymeric support using trifluoroacetic acid gave the desired 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles with excellent yield and high purity.
