A series of 5-substituted 3-nitro-1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized by alkaline treatment of the corresponding 1-(2-haloethyl- or 2-nitroxyethyl)-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles and by transvinylation of NH acids of the same series with vinyl acetate. The scope of applicability of the transvinylation procedure was established with respect to the azole p Ka value. The vinylic double bond on the nitrogen was shown to be inactive toward both nucleophilic and electrophilic reagents, whereas the halogen atom in position 5 exhibits enhanced reactivity. The latter factor provides the possibility for versatile structural modification via nucleophilic replacement of the 5-halogen atom by various groups, including triazolate ion.
