Ethyl 4-methylpent-2-ynoate → 1H-1,2,3-Triazole-5-carboxylic acid, 1-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-4-(1-methylethyl)-, ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-azido-1,3-dichloro-benzene (1.0 g) and 4-methyl-pent-2-ynoic acid ethyl ester (1.8 g) in toluene (5 mL) is heated to 120° C. overnight. Two regioisomers are observed in a range of 1:1 to 3:1 in favor of the desired product. The reaction is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by flash chromatography, eluting with 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.48 (d, 2H), 7.42 (t, 1H), 4.22 (q, 2H), 3.64 (m, 1H), 1.46 (d, 6H), 1.15 (t, 3H).
