Abstract

AbstractThe synthesis of a new class of compounds, namely 1‐((1‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)methyl)pyridin‐2(1H)‐one derivatives starting from 2‐hydroxynicotinic acid was reported. Initially, the carboxylic acid functionality connected to the pyridinone ring was converted to either the ester, amide or aldehyde functionality to obtain the precursor for the propargylation step. The incorporation of a propargyl group into the nitrogen atom of pyridinones was achieved in the presence of K2CO3 as a base. Different organic azides were also synthesized starting from the corresponding aniline derivatives. To obtain target molecules, the facile click cycloaddition reactions of alkynes with aryl azide derivatives in the presence of copper(I) catalyst were applied. Using this protocol, novel 1‐((1‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)methyl)pyridin‐2(1H)‐one derivatives with different substitution patterns were prepared in good to excellent yields under the mild reaction conditions. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by 1D and 2D NMR, FTIR, and HRMS analysis data. Overall, this protocol offers a straightforward method for synthesizing these novel compounds.
