Efficient synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and DFT based studies of novel 1-amide 4-sulfonamide-1,2,3-triazole derivatives.

In the present study, for the first time 1-amide 4-sulfonamide-1,2,3-triazole scaffolds were synthesized by using an azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition reaction. The target products were obtained in moderate to good yields (45–75%) by using catalytic CuI and green system H 2 O/EtOH. The easy availability of the inexpensive starting materials, avoiding isolation and handling of hazardous organic azides and mild reaction conditions make this method a valuable tool for generating functionalized 1,2,3-triazole derivatives. The unambiguous characterization of synthesized compounds was accomplished by using various spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FT-IR. The information regarding optimized geometry, were obtained by applying DFT/B3LYP-6-31G(d) method. The electrophilicity index, 1H and 13C chemical shift values, lithium and sodium ion affinities of the desired product 3b have been also calculated by the mentioned method. As a whole, the calculated results were found in close agreement to that of experimental data. The studies revealed that the compound 3b possesses good Li+ and Na+ affinity and cation π interaction plays a vital role in the complexation of 3b. For the first time, nucleus–independent chemical shift index was used to confirm the cation π interaction of 3b.
