1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of trimethylsilyl azide to propynals and dimerization of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-carbaldehydes to tricyclic bis-hemiaminals

Abstract

Reactions of trimethylsilyl azide with 3-trimethylsilyl-2-propynal and 2-propynal were studied. X-Ray analysis of the molecular structure of 4-trimethylsilyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-carbaldehyde showed that the carbonyl group appears in the s-cis conformation with respect to the double C=C bond in the heteroring. The effect of the temperature and polarity of the medium on the ability of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-carbaldehyde to undergo dimerization to tricyclic bis-hemiaminals was examined by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
