Abstract:
A traceless synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles has been developed on polymeric supports. The synthetic process utilizes immobilized mesoionic 1,3-oxazolium-5-olates (munchnones) as key intermediates in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The initial step in the synthesis involves reductive alkylation of phenylglycine methyl esters with Ameba resin. The resulting immobilized amino acid esters were subsequently acylated with a variety of carboxylic acid chlorides and subjected to hydrolysis with 15% KOH to yield the polymer-bound carboxylic acids. Finally, the cycloaddition between diethyl diazocarboxylate or 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione and the polymer-bound munchnones generated from the corresponding carboxylic acids afforded the polymer-bound 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles. Cleavage from the polymeric support using trifluoroacetic acid gave the desired 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles with excellent yield and high purity.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
