1,2,3-1H-Triazole

Description

Triazoles are a family of five-membered rings that contain three nitrogen atoms and two double bonds. The four triazole isomers (1H-1,2,3-, 2H-1,2,3-, 1H-1,2,4-, and 2H-1,2,4-) differ by the arrangement of the nitrogen atoms and the locations of their three hydrogen atoms. All of the triazoles are planar and aromatic.
1H-1,2,3-Triazole, like all triazoles, is highly soluble in water. In aqueous solution it tautomerizes to its 2H-isomer with a 1H/2H ratio of ≈1:2. Both isomers have essentially the same melting and boiling points, making them very difficult to separate from each other.
In 1910, German chemists Otto Dimroth* and Gustav Fester synthesized 1H-1,2,3-triazole by heating a solution of hydrazoic acid (HN3) and acetylene at 100 oC for 70 h. Sodium azide can be used in place of HN3 if the solution is acidified. Dimroth is best known for his discovery of the eponymous rearrangement of amine-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles, in which the substituent nitrogen atom and its nearest ring nitrogen atom exchange places.
The 1,2,3-triazole moiety is considered to be a pharmacophore in that it can interact with specific biological targets. It is a component of such pharmaceuticals as the cephalosporin antibiotic cefatrizine; tazobactam, which broadens the spectrum of certain antibiotics; and carboxyamidotriazole, a calcium channel blocker that may be useful to combat cancer.
