Preparation of tosylhydrazine


Scheme 1
As shown in scheme 1, tosylhydrazide was prepared by the reaction of tosylchloride with hydrazine. Thus, 85% H2NNH2·H2O (30ml) was added drop-wise into a stirred solution of tosylchloride in benzene (80ml) for 40 minutes. The reaction mixture was left stirring at 60-70°C for additional 50 minutes followed by laying up. The product, tosylhydrazide, precipitating from the reaction mixture was isolated by filtration, and was dried at 56°C. It was washed with water until free from H2NNH2·HCl, then redrying at 50°C for 5h. The product(15g,80.6%) is a white crystalline solid, mp 105°C(decomposition) as the literature[10] reported.

2.2 Synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole

Scheme 2
As shown in scheme 2, 1,2,3-triazole was prepared by the reaction of tosylhydrazide with glyoxal followed by treatment with ammonia. Thus, a solution of tosylhydrazine (20g) and acetic acid(1ml) in methanol(180ml) was added drop-wise into a stirred solution of glyoxal(31ml of 40% solution) in methanol(100ml). Some solid was separated out during the addition. The reaction mixture was then stirred for additional 15 minutes. A stream of ammonia was bubbled through the reaction mixture for 45 minutes .During the ammonia addition the reaction temperature rose to 55°C, and then slowly dropped to 30°C. The reaction mixture was left stirring at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and diluted with 25% methanol in ether(250ml).The separated solid was removed by filtration, the filtrate concentrated and the residue distilled to isolate 1,2,3-triazole(5.0g,66.8%).The fraction collected at 42°C(0.25mm) was identified as 1,2,3-triazole, a pale yellow liquid.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In industry, tosylhydrazide is produced from 40% H2NNH2H2O, the yield is 76% and the purity is 95%. As the product tends to be hydrolyzed, the product is thermolability and unfit to be material of preparing 1,2,3-triazole. The yield and purity of the product can be raised through properly increasing the dosage of H2NNH2·H2O, thus, high concentration (85%) of H2NNH2·H2O was used as material. The reaction of preparing tosylhydrazine is mainly affected by such factors as mole ratio among materials and reaction temperature. As far as reaction temperature is concerned, 60-70°C is optimal for this reaction. Otherwise, it is inadvisable to lengthen reaction time, since we have obtained high yield (80.6%) of the product after reacting for 1.5h (see Table 1).
While synthesizing 1,2,3-triazole, many experiments to study the influencing factors on the reaction were performed. In experiments, for example, we selected different mole ratios of tosylhydrazide (A) and glyoxal (B). Otherwise, we took three various manners of materials addition: the first, A and B were simultaneously added into a stirred solvent of methanol followed by bubbling a stream of ammonia; the second, a solution of glyoxal in methanol was added into a stirred solution of tosylhydrazide in methanol followed by bubbling a stream of ammonia; the third, a solution of tosylhydrazide in methanol was added drop-wise into a stirred solution of glyoxal in methanol followed by bubbling a stream of ammonia. The results of experiments are shown in table 2
.

Consequently, we have found out the optimal condition for synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole. The ratio of (A) and glyoxal(B) 1:2.7 should be selected, and the third manner of materials addition is the best.
By the way, 1,2,3-triazole should be isolated by vacuum distillation because of its thermolability at >200°C.
