3-(4-Thiocarbamoyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzo-15-crown-5: synthesis and properties

Abstract

A reaction of 1,2,3-thiadiazole-4-carbaldehyde with 3-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 involves the Cornforth rearrangement of the 1,2,3-thiadiazole ring, which leads to 1,2,3-triazole-4-carbothioamide containing the benzocrown ether substituent in position 1 of the triazole ring. Reversible formation of the isomeric thiadiazole occurs in aprotic nonpolar solvents such as deuterated chloroform. These compounds are suitable for extraction of α-amino acids from an aqueous phase.
