"Click" synthesis of nonsymmetrical bis(1,2,3-triazoles)

Org Lett. 2010 Apr 2;12(7):1584-7. doi: 10.1021/ol1003127.

Abstract

Unsymmetrically 1,1'-disubstituted 4,4'-bis-1H-1,2,3-triazoles 4 have been prepared from 4-ethynyl-1,2,3-triazoles 5 and azides. Following a "double-click" strategy, two complementary approaches were implemented for the preparation of the key 4-ethynyltriazole intermediates 5: (a) the stepwise Swern oxidation/Ohira-Bestman alkynylation of readily available 4-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3-triazoles 8 and (b) the stepwise cycloaddition of TMS-1,4-butadiyne 9. The method is highlighted by its compatibility with orthogonally protected and functionalized saccharide-peptide hybrids and its ability to be extended to the trisubstituted counterparts 12.
