ABSTRACT

Triazoles have many important physiological activities such as anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor. Thus, synthesis of these compounds has been a research hotspot. Triazoles have many important physiological activities such as anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor. Thus, synthesis of these compounds has been a research hotspot. The electrocatalytic decarbonylation of benzoic acid to construct 1,3,5-trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles with 1,3-bisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles was realized in 45%~65% yield at room temperature and without oxidant.

1. 引言

1,2,4-三氮唑化合物为含三个氮原子的五元杂环结构，具有抗菌、抗炎、抗肿瘤、抗结核等重要的生理活性 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]。同时，也是合成药物(马拉维若、三唑仑等)的重要砌块 [6] [7]。除此之外，三氮唑化合物还在配位化学、材料化学和天然产物中有广泛的应用。比如，最近的研究表明，1,2,4-三氮唑作为配体，与Ir3+配位后以高的量子产率发射蓝光，显示在有机发光二极管中，有较好的应用潜力 [8]。

合成1,2,4-三氮唑一直是研究热点，合成方法包括传统的佩利扎里反应、过渡金属催化脱氢偶联和过氧化物催化等 [9] [10] [11] [12]。最近Habtamu等人以四丁基碘化铵为媒介，在高温条件下，利用氧化剂叔丁基过氧化氢成功地实现了芳酮脱羰基活化，进攻1,3-二取代三唑，得到了1,3,5-三取代-1,2,4-三氮唑化合物 [13]。然而，这些报道的催化体系存在使用化学当量的氧化剂、过渡金属及苛刻的反应条件等不足。

电化学催化反应利用电子作为催化剂，避免使用氧化剂、金属等，在温和条件下，化学家们开发出了许多利用碳氢活化策略实现的电化学催化反应 [14] [15] [16]。本课题组采用电化学催化方法，实现了碳氢活化成功合成咪唑等杂环化合物 [17]。本文采用电化学催化芳基羧酸脱羧活化，成功实现了三氮唑杂环的碳氢活化交叉偶联反应，高选择性的构建了1,3,5-三取代的-1,2,4-三氮唑化合物。该方法具有操作简单，绿色环保等特点。

3. 结果与讨论

3.1. 反应条件的筛选

以苯甲酸1a (0.2 mmol)和三氮唑2 (0.2 mmol)为底物，以四丁基碘化铵(0.1 mmol)为催化媒介的反应为模型，我们探讨了催化媒介的类型、电流的大小、溶剂的种类以及反应温度对模型反应产率的影响(表1)。

首先探讨催化媒介对反应的影响(表1，entries 1~5)。从表中可以看出，无催化媒介条件下不能发生反应；使用碘化铵、溴化铵均不如四丁基碘化铵的产率高；增加催化媒介的量不能提高反应产率。对溶剂进行了筛选，发现溶剂甲醇、乙醇和DMSO均会使产率有所下降(表1，entries 6~8)。随后对电流进行筛选，研究表明没有电流时，反应不能发生；电流为6mA和12mA时，产率均有所下降，说明9 mA电流为最合适的电流(表1，entries 9~11)。最后，对反应温度进行了考察(表1，entries 12~13)，结果表明提高反应温度不能使产率提高。因此，此反应的最优反应条件为：以四丁基碘化铵为媒介、9 mA电流、乙腈为溶剂，室温下反应5小时。

3.2. 目标产物的普适性研究

根据上述建立的最优反应条件(表1，Entries 2)，得到了中等产率的目标化合物3a-3g，我们对该反应的底物普适性进行了研究，结果如表2所示。从表中可以看出，芳基羧基1a-1e的苯环上无论带有强吸电子基团还是给电子基团，都能很好的发生脱羧活化，实现三氮唑杂环的碳氢活化交叉偶联反应，以中等产率得到目标化合物。此外，芳环扩展到噻吩或者萘环，反应均能较好的发生。因此，该反应体系中芳基羧酸具有较好的底物普适性。

3.3. 反应机理分析

以模型反应为研究对象，在最优反应条件下对反应机理进行探讨。当反应中加入0.2 mmol自由基抑制剂2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶氮氧化物时，反应受到抑制。根据文献 [13] 提出图1所示的反应机理：电化学条件下，碘负离子在阳极被氧化成碘自由基，该自由基进攻苯甲酸，导致苯甲酸脱氢，并进一步脱羰基，生成苯基自由基。然后，苯基自由基进攻二取代–三氮唑上的碳氢键，生成自由基中间体，经单电子转移并脱氢后得到目标化合物3a。

4. 结论

采用碘盐媒介的电化学催化芳基脱羧活化，在室温下实现了1,3-二取代-1,2,4-三氮唑的碳氢活化交叉偶联反应，得到了1,3,5-三取代-1,2,4-三氮唑化合物。目标化合物用1HNMR、13CNMR、HRMS等进行了结构表征。以特征目标产物例，分析了其波谱数据及可能的反应机理。该反应具有操作简便和环境友好等特点。
