Abstract
Thermal reaction of various alpha-azido esters with Bu(3)SnH in refluxing benzene results in smooth production of 3-(tributylstannyl)-1-triazene adducts affording cyclized 1,2,3-triazol-4-ones in preference to reduced amines and thence provides a new useful method for the preparation of these triazole derivatives. In the presence of AIBN the occurrence of triazene products still remains important or even exclusive and, consequently, generation of the expected stannylaminyl radicals is seriously limited. With 2-azidomalonates and alpha-azido-beta-keto esters stannyltriazenes can similarly occur in the absence of the radical initiator, but in the latter cases the ensuing triazenes undergo preferential cyclization onto the ketone moiety to give reactive hydroxytriazolines. Contrary to alpha-azido esters, in the presence of AIBN alpha-azido-beta-keto esters as well as azidomalonates give rise only to the usual stannylaminyl radicals. A possible explanation for the different behavior of the mono- and dicarbonyl azides in the presence of AIBN is put forward.
