α-Azido ketones and their vinylogous relatives β-alkoxy-γ-azido enones are versatile building blocks for constructing diverse heterocyclic products, but are prone to azide decomposition. Here, we report their condensation with propargylic amines and investigate the fate of the intermediate azido-enamine condensation products, both experimentally and theoretically. Efficient intramolecular cycloaddition was observed for electron-poor azide substrates, and a range of diversely substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-]pyrazine products is reported. For electron-rich substrates, azide decomposition predominated. Computational modeling of possible pathways from the azido-enamine intermediates revealed two alternative mechanisms for azide decomposition, which were consistent with observed side products.

An azide-based sampler for monitoring abiotic reduction of chlorinated solvent contaminants in groundwater.

There is significant interest in monitoring abiotic decomposition of chlorinated solvents at contaminated sites due to large uncertainties regarding the rates of abiotic attenuation of trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) under field conditions. In this study, an innovative passive sampling tool was developed to quantify acetylene, a characteristic product of abiotic reduction of TCE or PCE, in groundwater. The sampling mechanism is based on the highly specific and facile click reaction between acetylene and an azide compound to form a biologically and chemically stable triazole product.

In this work, a multicomponent polymerization (MCP) approach involving bipyrroles, sulfonyl azides, and diynes was developed to afford a library of poly(bipyrrole-sulfonylimide)s (PPSIs) in high yields and molecular weights, which were further modified to form unique sulfur dioxide (SO) generators. Bipyrroles served as carbon-based nucleophiles to undergo Cu-catalyzed C-C coupling during the MCP. Upon post-MCP modification by transforming the bipyrrole unit to boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) and the sulfonylimide moiety to sulfonamide, poly(BODIPY-sulfonamide)s (PBSAs) were obtained as potent anticancer therapeutic agents.

In this present work, we describe the syntheses of a new series of 32 1H-indole-based-meldrum linked 1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives (2-13, 15a-15f, 16a-16f, 17a-17f and 19a, 19b, 20a), which constitute a new class of 1H-1,2,3-triazoles. Compounds 15a-15f, 16a-16f, 17a-17f have been prepared by employing "click" reactions between substituted 1H-indole-based meldrum alkynes (11, 12 and 13) and substituted aromatic azides (14a-14f) in the presence of copper iodide (CuI) and Hünig's base. Then, the synthesis of compounds 19, 20 through decomposition of meldrum moiety.

Carbonyl azides are important precursors to isocyanates and are used as energetic compounds. However, the further development of these compounds is limited by their inherently poor stability. In this study, we present a new family of carbonyl azides, 5-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl-carbamoyl-azide (NTCA), which was synthesized through in situ oxidation cleavage of amino-tetrazole.

To improve the reinforcement effect between a binder and high solid filler in a propellant formula, grafting the bonding group into the binder to form a neutral polymeric is a practically novel approach to improving the interface properties of the propellant. In this work, a glycidyl azide polyol energetic thermoplastic elastomer binder with a -CN bonding group (GAP-ETPE) was synthesized, and the mechanical and thermal decomposition mechanism of GAP-ETPE with Hexogeon (RDX) model propellants were studied. The stress-strain results indicated that the tensile strength and strain of GAP-ETPE/RDX model propellants were 6.
