Abstract
A general and metal-free synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles from hydrazones and aliphatic amines has been achieved under oxidative conditions via a cascade C-H functionalization, double C-N bonds formation, and oxidative aromatization sequence in the presence of iodine as catalyst.
see article for more examples
Note
If the reaction is performed under N2 atmosphere, a slight decrease of the yield is observed. We speculated that O2 could partially participate in the oxidation process.
