Synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles by microwave-assisted N-acylation of amide derivatives and the consecutive reaction with hydrazine hydrochlorides

Facile and efficient procedures for the N-acylation reaction of amide derivatives with various acid anhydrides and the cyclization reaction of N-acylated amide derivatives with various hydrazine hydrochlorides were described. The reactions were carried out under microwave irradiation to give products in good yields in a few minutes. The synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles from benzamides can also be accomplished in a simple one-pot sequential reaction.
