Structure and properties

1,2,4-Triazole is a planar molecule. The C-N and N-N distances fall into a narrow range 136 - 132 picometers, consistent with the aromaticity.[2] Although two tautomers can be envisioned, only one exists practically speaking.

1,2,4-Triazole is amphoteric, being susceptible to both N-protonation and deprotonation in aqueous solution. The pKa of 1,2,4-triazolium (C2N3H4+) is 2.45. The pKa of the neutral molecule is 10.26.[3]

Synthesis and occurrence

Portion of the structure of {[Fe(triazolate)(triazole)2](BF4)}n.[4]

1,2,4-Triazoles can be prepared using the Einhorn–Brunner reaction or the Pellizzari reaction. Unsubstituted 1,2,4-triazole can be prepared from thiosemicarbazide by acylation with formic acid followed by cyclization of 1-formyl-3-thiosemicarbazide into 1,2,4-triazole-3(5)-thiol; oxydation of thiol by nitric acid yields 1,2,4-triazole.[5]

1,2,4-Triazoles are featured in many kinds of drugs.[6][7] Notable triazoles include the antifungal drugs fluconazole and itraconazole.[8] Triazolate is a common bridging ligand in coordination chemistry.[9]
