Abstract

A number of previously unknown N-isopropenyl-substituted pyrroles, indoles, and di- and -triazoles were synthesized in 20-86% yield by reaction of the corresponding azole with an equilibrium mixture of propyne with allene or pure propyne and allene in the system KOH-DMSO (105-145°C, 5-15 h, atmospheric or elevated pressure). The reaction is regioselective. The electronic and steric structure and the degree of conjugation between the exocyclic double bond and the azole ring are discussed on the basis of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra. Almost complete absence of p-π conjugation in α,α'-disubstituted N-isopropenylazoles have been found.
