Abstract
Attempts to prepare 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethylphosphonates (4 and 5) by a Mannichtype reaction or by transesterification of 1-hydroxymethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol 1 with tertiary phosphites failed. On the other hand 4 and 5 are obtained by a Michaelis-Becker reaction from 1-chloromethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol 3 and sodium phosphites in high yield. The Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction is less suited for the preparation of 4 and 5. 3 is obtained in good yield as a water clear liquid, b.p. 52–54°C/0.2 torr, from the interaction of 1 with thionyl chloride followed by treatment with a base. On standing at 0° or 20°C it decomposes within hours and yields the unsymmetrical methylen-bis(triazol) 3a in addition to other products. However an acetonitrile solution of 3 is stable for months. Heating this solution with tertiary phosphines gives triazolylsubstituted phosphoniumsalts 6 to 8. The Wittig-Horner reaction with 4 to 6 gives the olefinically substituted triazols 9–12 as a Z/E mixture in high yield. Alkylation of 4 with methyl-and ethyl iodide gives the corresponding alkylated diethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-ethyl-1-and-propyl-1-phosphonates 14 and 15 which on hydrolysis with HCI yield 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-ethyl-1-and propyl-1-phosphonic acids 17 and 18, respectively. Hydrolysis of 4 gives the unsubstituted 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl-phosphonic acid, 16.
