Abstract: A series of neat 4-(2-alkenyl) substituted 5-methyl-3-phenyl-4 H-1, 2, 4-triazoles were thermolyzed at 320 C producing a rearrangement products, of which the regioisomeric 1-and 2-substituted triazoles were the main products. The group migrations were rationalized in terms of consecutive SN 2-type reactions. This mechanism was supported by a study of the alkylations of the triazoles which gave similar product mixtures. 4-(2-alkenyl) ...
