Synthesis of-4-((4-trimethylsilyl-1 H -1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-2 H -chromen-2-ones: A novel class of heteroaryl anionic synthon.

A one-pot synthesis of some novel anionic scaffolds: the substituted-4-((4-trimethylsilyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-2H-chromen-2-one is reported. Reaction of 10 different substituted bromomethylcoumarins with trimethylsilylacetylene and sodium azide in the presence of copper(I) iodide catalyst gave the corresponding heteroaryl conjugates: the substituted-4-((4-trimethylsilyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-2H-chromen-2-one in 70–92% yields. The structures of the synthesized compounds have been completely characterized by spectral and elemental analyses. For the first time, the representative single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of 6-methoxy-4-((4-trimethylsilyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-2H-chromen-2-one is reported which confirms the formation of anionic synthon which bears the trimethylsilyl-group.
