Synthesis of 3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones

Recent Literature

A nickel-promoted cascade annulation reaction of readily available hydrazonoyl chlorides and sodium cyanate provides 3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones in very good yields. The method has been successfully applied for the construction of the core skeleton of an angiotensin II antagonist.

A Pd-catalyzed three-component carbonylative reaction provide structurally diverses 3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones in good yields from hydrazonoyl chlorides and NaN₃ through a cascade carbonylation, acyl azide formation, Curtius rearrangement, and intramolecular nucleophilic addition sequence. Benzene-1,3,5-triyl triformate (TFBen) has been used as a solid and convenient CO surrogate.

A selective, formal, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of organo-cyanamide ions with nitrile imine dipoles provides 1,2,4-triazol-3-imines. Hydrolysis of the 1,2,4-triazol-3-imines yields the corresponding 1,2,4-triazol-5-ones.
