Mesoionic 1,2,3-triazolium-5-olates, in particular their fused analogs, represent a little known class of heterocyclic compounds.1 At the same time, these compounds have been characterized with regard to various biological effects: herbicidal,2 , 3 antitumor,4 and other types of activity.5 , 6 There are two main approaches to the synthesis of fused mesoionic 1,2,3-triazolium-5-olates: intramolecular acylation of triazenes, obtained by azo coupling of cyclic α-amino acids with aromatic and heterocyclic diazonium salts,1 , 2 , 7 10 or intramolecular condensation of mesoionic 1,2,3-triazoles, containing suitable substituents at the ring positions 3 and 4.6 , 11 13

We used the second approach for the synthesis of a new heterocyclic system, 1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-а]pyridin-8-ium-3-olates. The reaction of sodium 4-acetyl-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-olate14 (1) with α-bromoacetophenones allowed us to synthesize the 1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-5-olates 2ae (Scheme 1). The X-ray structural analysis data for compound (Fig. 1) confirmed that the alkylation had occurred at position 3 of the triazole ring.

Molecular structure of compound 2a with atoms represented by thermal vibration ellipsoids of 50% probability.

Triazolium-5-olates 2ae underwent intramolecular crotonic condensation in the presence of NaOH in aqueous alcohol solution, giving the triazolopyridiniumolate sodium salts 3ae. Acidification of aqueous suspension of the latter gave the triazolopyridiniumolates 4ae.

It should be noted that triazolopyridiniumolates 4ae, in particular their sodium salts 3ae, rapidly decomposed in DMSO or DMF solutions.

Thus, in this work we propose a convenient method for the synthesis of 4-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazolo[1,5-а]pyridin-8-ium-3-olates and their sodium salts.

IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Alpha spectrometer (ATR, ZnSe). 1Н and 13С NMR spectra were obtained on a Вruker Avance II spectrometer (400 and 100 MHz, respectively) in DMF-d 7 (the 13С NMR spectrum of compound ) and in DMSO-d 6 (the rest of the NMR spectra), with TMS as internal standard. Mass spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu GCMS-QP-2010 Plus GC-MS instrument (EI ionization, 70 eV). Elemental analysis was performed on a РЕ 2400 Series II CHNS-analyzer. Melting points were determined on a Stuart SMP3 apparatus and were reported uncorrected. The reaction progress and the individuality of the synthesized compounds were monitored by TLC on Silufol UV-254 plates, eluent 1:9 EtOH–CHCl3, visualization under UV light.

X-Ray structural analysis of compound 2а was performed on an Xcalibur S automated four-circle X-ray diffractometer by using the standard procedure (МоKα radiation, graphite monochromator, ω/2θ-scanning). A yellow prismatic crystal with dimensions of 0.4×0.3×0.25 mm was used for the analysis of compound 2a (C18H15N3O3, M 321.33). The crystal at 295(2) K was rhombic; space group P212121; unit cell parameters: a 8.0484(12), b 8.1876(8), c 23.784(3) A; Z 4; d calc 1.362 g/cm3; μ 0.095 mm–1. A total of 8547 reflections were collected in the range of 2.63 < θ < 26.37°, of which 3064 were independent (R int 0.0688), including 1812 reflections with I > 2σ(I). No correction for absorption was used. The structure was solved and refined with the SHELX15 software suite by using anisotropic approximation for non-hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions and were included in the refinement according to the "rider" model in isotropic approximation with dependent thermal parameters. The final structural refinement parameters: R 1 0.0414, wR 2 0.0761 (by reflections with I > 2σ(I)), R 1 0.0784, wR 2 0.0811 (by all reflections) with the robustness parameter S 1.001. The maximum/minimum residual electron density peaks were 0.131/–0.195 ēÅ–3. The atomic coordinates and temperature factors were deposited at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center (deposit CCDC 1030491).
