Rearrangement of 3,3-Disubstituted 1-Aryl-4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-3H-1,2,4-triazolium Tetrafluoroborates; Part 1. A Versatile Synthesis of 1,5-Disubstituted 2-Aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one Tetrafluoroborates

α-(Arylazo)alkyl isocyanates 3 react with tetrafluoroboric acid to yield 3, 3-disubstituted 1-aryl-4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-3H-1,2,4-triazo-lium tetrafluoroborates 4. These compounds rearrange under mild conditions and in good yields to the tetrafluoroborates of 1,5 disubstituted 2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,2, 4-triazol-3-ones 5. Our results show that the nature of the substituents determines their migratory aptitude for the rearrangement.
