Abstract
Several synthetic routes toward triazole building block 2-(3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetic acid are described. The main problems of the initial synthetic route via alkylation of 3-Me-1H-1,2,4-triazole, such as poor regioselectivity, low yield, and purification by column chromatography, could be significantly improved or completely avoided in the second-generation approaches. Key concepts for the design of the alternative synthesis approaches to solve the problem of regioselectivity were the desymmetrization of 3,5-dibromo-1H-1,2,4-triazole and the de novo synthesis of the triazole core. The scalability of all routes was demonstrated on >100 g scale.
期刊介绍:
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools,process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
