Abstract

N-Phenyltriazolinedione (PTAD) adds to a variety of carbonyl compounds to form -urazolylcarbonyl compounds. With highly enolized carbonyl systems, this type of substitution reaction can occur rapidly even in the absence of a catalyst. However, with simple carbonyl systems, the reaction is greatly accelerated by an acid catalyst such as trifluoroacetic acid. Unsymmetrical ketones afford isomeric ��- and ��'-urazolyl ketones, and the initially formed monourazoles can be further urazolated to the diurazoles through the application of more than 1 equiv of PTAD.
