N3-[(4-aminosulfonyl)phenyl]-1-(2',6'-difluorobenzoyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diamine is a selective cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor that shows promise as an anti-tumor agent. It was regioselectively synthesized in high yield from diphenylcyanocarbonimidate (DPCCI), 4-aminobenzenesulfonamide and 2,6-difluorobenzoyl hydrazide. The reaction sequence can be conducted in one-pot with no isolated intermediates. A process to generate the most stable polymorph was also developed. The methodology has been extended to prepare regioselectively a wide variety of 1-acyl-3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazoles.
