Synthesis, spectral characteristics and molecular structure of N-(1-(5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)carboxamides

Abstract

Many 1,2,4-triazole derivatives have high biological activity. They are of interest for scientific and practical human activity as potential drugs and pesticides. In this work, we report a synthesis of a series of new 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing an alkylamide moiety. It was found that the amidoalkylation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole N-(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)carboxamides in the presence of triethylamine occurred selectively at the endocyclic nitrogen atom N-1 with the formation of the corresponding N-(1-(5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)carboxamides. The reaction products were isolated in 79–85% yields and characterized by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. To unambiguously establish the structure of the obtained compounds, we carried out X-ray diffraction analysis for N-(1-(5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-3-methylbutanamide.
