Procedure

To a solution of 4.3 grams (g) (187 mmoles) of sodium pellets in 80 milliliters (ml) of absolute ethanol under nitrogen was added 18.0 g (125 mmoles) of ethyl propionyl acetate followed by 16.6 g (125 mmoles) of benzyl azide. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for two days. Upon cooling to room temperature, 45 ml of 4N aqueous sodium hydroxide was added dropwise and the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. The reaction was again cooled to room temperature and concentration in vacu gave a gummy solid. This residue was dissolved in 125 ml of water and extracted with ether. Acidification (pH 1) with 12 molar hydrochloric acid caused precipitation of 25.1 g (87%) of 1(2 or 3)-benzyl-5-ethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid as a tan solid. The structure was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) and infrared spectroscopy (I.R.).
