Sodium triacetoxyborohydride → 1-benzyl-N-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-amine (835 mg) and tetrahydropyran-4H-pyran-4-one (481 mg) in acetic acid (10 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.53 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was diluted with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate-isopropyl alcohol (3:1). The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography [eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=35/65→0/100 (volume ratio)], and crystallized from diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as pale-beige crystals (573 mg, 46%).
