p-Toluenesulfonic acid-promoted autocatalytic hydrolyzation of 1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles

ABSTRACTThe first example of autocatalytic hydrolyzation of 4-aryl-1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles induced by p-toluenesulfonic acid was reported, providing an effective and metal-free synthetic approach to deliver a broad range of new 4-aryl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles in good yields. The kinetic profile of this hydrolyzation suggested that this reaction has exponential autocatalytic behavior.
