2-Butynoic acid → 1-(o-chlorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 16.75 g (100 mmol) of o-chlorobenzyl azide, 7.35 g (100 mmol) of propynecarboxylic acid and 200 ml of toluene is stirred for 24 hours at 50°. After being cooled to room temperature, the precipitated product is filtered off with suction and washed first with toluene and then with diethyl ether. In this manner there is obtained 1-(o-chlorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid having a melting point of 175° (with decomposition). After concentration of the filtrates by evaporation and washing the residue with a little toluene, 1-(o-chlorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-carboxylic acid having a melting point of 120° (with decomposition) remains.
