Density functional theory calculations show that both ring opening and chain dissociation of polymeric triazoles are facilitated by mechanical stretching of the molecules--the latter more than the former. Experimentally observed ring opening upon sonication can therefore not be explained by a mechanical stretching mechanism alone.

Hexaphenylbenzene (HPB) and hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene-(HBC) functionalised 1,2,3-triazoles have been synthesised using an optimised copper(i)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The coordination chemistry of these ligands was explored through the synthesis of the respective palladium(ii) complexes and their activity as catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction assessed.

An unprecedented approach that enables the direct and selective preparation of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from abundantly available building blocks such as primary amines, enolizable ketones and 4-nitrophenyl azide as a renewable source of dinitrogen via an organocascade process has been developed. Furthermore, this efficient methodology also enables the synthesis of fully functionalized...

Thirteen new triazoles containing 1,3-dioxolane rings were synthesized and their identities confirmed by means of IR, NMR, MS, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. The results of preliminary biological tests show that all of these compounds possess some fungicidal and plant growth regulant activities.

Oligonucleotides including C-nucleotides having 1-substitued 1H-1,2,3-triazoles as artificial nucleobases were conveniently synthesized by the post-elongation modification method using the copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The base-pairing properties of the triazole nucleobase analogs in forming duplexes with oligonucleotides were investigated by the T...

A solvent-free synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles using neat azides and alkynes and a copper(I) polymer supported catalyst (Amberlyst) A21*CuI) is presented herein. As it provides the products in high yields and purities within minutes, this method thus being characterized as a "flash" synthesis, and was exemplified through the synthesis of a 24-compound library on a small scale.

Active and selective catalysts for the asymmetric reduction of ketones, under transfer hydrogenation conditions, were obtained by combining [RhCl(2)Cp*](2), with a series of l-amino acid thioamide ligands functionalized with 1,2,3-triazoles. The obtained secondary alcohol products were formed with up to 93% ee.

The use of voriconazole, a trifluorinated antifungal, has been associated with the development of fluoride excess and periostitis/exostoses. We evaluated a cohort of patients on long-term triazole therapy and found that other fluorinated triazoles (fluconazole and posaconazole) conferred no risk for the development of hyperfluorosis and its complications in our cohort.

Rhodotorula infections occur among patients with immunosuppression and/or central venous catheters. Using standardized methods (NCCLS M27-A), we determined the antifungal susceptibilities of 10 Rhodotorula bloodstream infection isolates. Patient information was collected for clinical correlation. The MICs of amphotericin B and posaconazole were the lowest, and the MICs of triazoles and echinoca...

Glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors are considered as potential antidiabetic agents. 3-(β-d-Glucopyranosyl)-5-substituted-1,2,4-triazoles were prepared by acylation of O-perbenzoylated N (1)-tosyl-C-β-d-glucopyranosyl formamidrazone and subsequent removal of the protecting groups. The best inhibitor was 3-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-5-(2-naphthyl)-1,2,4-triazole (K i = 0.41 μM against rabbit muscle glyc...
