A simple and facile synthesis of novel 1,2,3-triazole substituted pyrimidine derivatives

A series of novel indole and pyrimidine scaffolds bearing 1,2,3-triazoles have been designed and synthesized using click chemistry reaction conditions. Target compounds 9a-j were synthesized in the multi-step process. In the first step 5-substituted-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde 2a-b reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate 3 and guanidine hydrochloride 4 in presence of L-Proline in ethanol undergoes cyclisation to form 5a-b. Further, 5a-b condensed with various benzaldehydes to form Schiff's base 6a-f, which further proporgylated with propargyl bromide to form 7a-f. Finally, 7a-f was subjected to click-chemistry with various azides in the presence of CuSO4.5H(2)O + sodium ascorbate mixture in Dimethylformamide at room temperature to obtain 2 + 3 cycloaddition products 9a-j in high yield. All these synthetic methods are mostly green and inexpensive with excellent yields.
