The efficiency of 5-nitro-1,2,4-1H-triazole (3), 5-(methylthio)-1H-tetrazole (4), and 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazole(5) as activators in phosphoramidite alcoholysis has been studied relative to 1H-tetrazole (6). Reactions of these azoles with diisopropyl (diisopropylamido)phosphite (1a) were followed in THF, and the rates were found to increase with increasing acidity of the azoles. The Bronsted a value of 0.7 determined for this dependence is in agreement with data published earlier.
