X-ray Structure Determination of Naphthalen-2-yl 1-(Benzamido(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This 'Short Note' by Serigne Abdou Khadir Fall et al. describes the structural determination by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the title compound, "naphthalen-2-yl (S)-1-(benzamido(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate". The synthesis and characterization - besides the crystal structure - have been previously published by the authors in Molbank, 2021, M1285. But the structure has apparently also been published (or is pending) as a CSD Communication (DOI: 10.5517/ccdc.csd.cc29ygg6)?
Furthermore, the title compound is termed the (S)-enantiomer, however, the space group is the centro-symmetric P21/c, so both enantiomers are present in the crystal structure.

The synthesis and characterization - besides the crystal structure - have been previously published by the authors in Molbank, 2021, M1285. But the structure has apparently also been published (or is pending) as a CSD Communication (DOI: 10.5517/ccdc.csd.cc29ygg6)?
The communication in CSD regarding this article DOI: 10.5517/ccdc.csd.cc29ygg6 has been removed as shown in the attached message.
Furthermore, the title compound is termed the (S)-enantiomer, however, the space group is the centro-symmetric P21/c, so both enantiomers are present in the crystal structure.
Since the title compound crystallizes in the space group P21/c which is centro-symmetrical, then we remove the absolute configuration (S) in all of the text.

Title: Naphthalen-2-yl (S)-1-(benzamido(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate: Single-Crystal X-ray Structure Determination

In this Short Note, the authors determined the crystal structure of naphthalen-2-yl (S) -1- (benzamido (diethoxy-22-phosphoryl) methyl) -1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
The manuscript is well written and well organized. The results are clearly presented and discussed. I suggest publishing the manuscript after a minor correction. Namely, the authors stated that the title compound was resynthesized in excellent yield and high regioselectivity. I wonder what the yield of the compound was now relative to the yield obtained in reference 14? It would be good to comment on that in this manuscript.

The title compound was resynthesized with an excellent yield of about 95%
