ABSTRACT
Some new 1-aryl-4-[(aziridine-1-yl)diaryl-methyl]-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives 7j–s were synthesized by the one-pot reaction of diaryl-(1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methanol compounds 6j–s formed from 1-aryl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives. The new compounds 7j–s and 6j–s are investigated by 1H and 13C NMR, MS, and IR. The anticancer activity of the synthesis target compounds was evaluated against human leukemia (HL-60) cells and human hepatoma G2 cells. Some of the compounds were highly efficient. The 1H-NMR signals of the aziridine-ring cis-H/trans-H protons were found to be two group peaks at 1.800–1.884 and 1.183–1.327 ppm.
