Procedure

To a suspension of sodium azide (19.0 g : 0.283 Mol.) in dimethyl- formamide (130 ml) is added trityl chloride (76.0 g : 0.273 Mol.), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with water and extracted with ether. The extract is washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give trityl azide. To a solution of this azide in acetone (300 ml) is added methyl propiolate (24 ml : 0.27 Mol.), and the mixture is heated under reflux for 6 days. The reaction mixture is cooled to the room temperature and diluted with ether. The separating crystals are collected by filtration to give 1-trityl-1,2,3-triazol-4-ylcarboxylic acid methyl ester (62.0 g) as colorless crystals. Yield: 62%. mp. 189° to 190° C. NMR δ (CDCl3) ppm: 3.93(s, 3H), 7.05-7.15(m, 6H), 7.3-7.4(m, 9H), 8.02(s, 1H).
