A novel and efficient one-pot strategy for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles: access to synthesis of penipanoid A and its analogues

Abstract

We developed a novel one-pot strategy for synthesizing biologically important 1,2,4-triazole motifs from easily accessible 4-hydroxy phenylacetic acid, formamidine hydrochloride and hydrazine derivatives under mild conditions. This strategy enabled us to synthesize the natural penipanoid A and its analogues in one step.
