(±)-2-{[4-(4-Bromophenyl)-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]sulfanyl}-1-phenyl-1-ethanol

Abstract

The novel racemic secondary alcohol (±)-2-{[4-(4-bromophenyl)-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]sulfanyl}-1-phenyl-1-ethanol (12) has been successfully synthesized through S-alkylation of 4-(4-bromophenyl)-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (10) in alkaline medium with 2-bromo-1-phenylethanone followed by reduction of the corresponding ketone 11. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1D (1H, 13C, DEPT135) and 2D (1H-1H, 1H-13C and 1H-15N) NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and HRMS spectrometry.
