Synthesis,purification and spectroscopic characterization of potential impurities of hexamethylmelamine

The syntheses and spectroscopic properties (ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr, uv and ms) of pure samples of 2-chloro-4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-s-triazine 1 , 4,6-dichloro-2-dimethylamino-s-triazine 2 , 4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-s-triazin-2(lH)-one 3 , 4-chloro-6-dimethylamino-s-triazin-2(1H)-one 4 , 6-dimethylamino-s-triazine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 5 , and 2,4,6-tris(dimethylamino)-s-triazine (altretamine, HMM) are reported. Evidence for enol-keto equilibria are also presented for 3 , in which the enol form exhibits as an H-bonded dimer structure similar to the dimer of organic carboxylic acids.     

Synthesis of certain 6-alkylthio-2,2′-anhydro-5-azauridines

β-D-Arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione ( 7b ) and its t-butyldimethylsilyl protected counterpart 7a were synthesized by treating the appropriate 2-amino-β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]-2-oxazoline with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate. These 2,2′-anhydro-s-triazine nucleosides were then subjected to alkylation under similar reaction conditions. Alkylation of 3′,5′-bis(O-t-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:-4,5]oxazolo-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione ( 7a ) provided the targeted S-alkylated nucleosides, i.e., the C6-SCH₃ ( 9a ), C6-SCH₂-CH = CH₂ ( 10a ), and C6-S-CH₂-C = CH ( 11a ), in reasonable yields. Attempted deprotection of these nucleosides failed. In order to circumvent this problem, 7b was alkylated with the same reagents. In each case, instead of the expected S-alkylated anhydronucleosides, a mixture of the 5-N-alkylanhydro-s-triazine-4,6-dione and 5-N-alkylanhydro-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione derivatives were obtained. The 2,2′-anhydro linkage of 7a was also found to be more stable than the s-triazine ring to mild base. Basic conditions displaced the C6-sulfur substituent and eventually caused ring opening of the s-triazine aglycone.     

Synthesis and properties of polyurethanes containing s-triazine rings in the main chain

Eight new diisocyanate monomers containing s-triazine ring have been prepared from the parent diacids via the Curtius rearrangement of the corresponding diacyl azides. The parent diacids were synthesised by the reaction of p- and m-hydroxybenzoic acid with 6-methoxy-2,4-dichloro-s-triazine, 6-phenoxy-2,4-dichloro-s-triazine, 6-phenyl-2,4-dichloro-s-triazine, and 2-diphenylamino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine respectively. Polyurethanes have been synthesised by solution polymerization of these diisocyanates with ethylene glycol in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC). The resulting polymers were characterized by IR spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, solubility tests, and softening points.     

Synthesis of 3 or 3,3′-substituted BINOL ligands and their application in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes

Three new substituted BINOL ligands (R)-3-[4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (R)-1, (R)-3,3′-bis[4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (R)-2 and 2,4-bis(2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthalen-3-yl)-6-(p-tolyl)-1,3,5-triazine (R,R)-3 have been obtained by directed ortho-lithiation or Suzuki cross-coupling process. Ligand (R)-1 shows improved catalytic properties for the asymmetric diethylzinc addition to aromatic aldehydes.     

Synthesis and properties of some aryl-s-triazines

The synthesis and reactions of several substituted s-triazines were studied in attempts to prepare 4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-s-lriazine-2-carboxylie acid ( 2 ) and 2-aldehyde ( 8 ). The 4,6-bis-(4-chlorophenyl)-s-triazine derivatives were surprisingly inert to a variety of reagents. 4,6-Bis-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-s-triazine ( 1 ) could not be oxidized with any of a variety of oxidants. On bromination 1 gave 4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2-dibromomethyl-s-triazine ( 4 ) which was resistant to hydrolysis but on oxidation with selenium dioxide gave 2 . Compound 2 was also prepared by the oxidation of 4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-s-triazme ( 7 ) with potassium permanganate. Other reagents did not oxidize 7 to 8 . 4,6-Bis(4-chloroanilino)-2-mcthyl-s-triazine ( 3 ) was also resistant to oxidizing agents. 2-Diazomethy1-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine ( 11 ) on reaction with 4-chloroaniline gave 4,6-bis(4-chloroanilino)-2-chloromethyl-s-triazine ( 12 ). All efforts to prepare 8 were unsuccessful.     

Study on side-chain second-order nonlinear optical polyimides based on novel chromophore-containing diamines. I. Synthesis and characterization

Side-chain second-order nonlinear optical polyimides were prepared from four novel chromophore-containing diamines and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride by a traditional two-step process that included a solution polycondensation followed by a chemical imidization. The four diamines were 2,4-di-β-aminoethylamino-6-p-nitrophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M1), 4-nitro-4′-[N-(4,6-di-β-aminoethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino azobenzene (M2), 2,4-di-p-aminophenylamino-6-p-nitrophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M3), and 4-nitro-4′-[N-(4,6- di-4-aminophenylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino azobenzene (M4). All the polyimides exhibited maximum ultraviolet-visible absorption peaks or shoulders of chromophores at wavelengths below 400 nm, and those based on M1 and M3 were transparent at wavelengths above 450 nm, whereas those based on M2 and M4 were transparent at wavelengths above 550 nm. The polyimides possessed high glass-transition temperatures (T_g's; 218–247 °C) and thermal decomposition temperatures. They were soluble in aprotic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethyl acetamide, N,N-dimethyl formamide, and dimethylsulfone. Some were even soluble in common low-boiling-point solvents such as tetrahydrofuran. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 37: 4330–4336, 1999     

Malonic ester derivatives of s-Triazine

Reaction of cyanuric chloride with solutions of sodium diethyl malonate led to three products, 2,4,6-tris(dicarbethoxymethylene)hexahydro-s-triazine, 2,4-bis(dicarbethoxymethylene)-6-oxohexahydro-s-triazine, and 2-dicarbethoxymethylene-4,6-dioxohexahydro-s-triazine. The preferred structures (IV,V,VI) are stabilized by chelated N-H-O protons in six membered rings. The assignment of structures was made on the basis of ir, nmr, uv and mass spectral data.     

The design, synthesis, and application of a chiral coupling reagent derived from strychnine for the enantioselective activation of a carboxylic group

The concept of a chiral coupling reagent for the enantioselective synthesis of peptides with a predictable configuration and enantiomeric purity from racemic substrates is presented. The reagent was prepared by treatment of strychninium tetrafluoroborate with 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine in the presence of sodium bicarbonate yielding N-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)strychninium tetrafluoroborate in high yield, which is stable at room temperature, and in a broad range of solvents gave enriched Z-Ala-Phe-OMe (dr from 95/5 to 60/40) in high yield with d-configuration on the alanine residue starting from rac-Z-Ala-OH.     

Synthesis,physical, and thermal properties of linear poly(dialkoxyphosphinyl-s-triazine)s

A novel class of linear poly(dialkoxyphosphinyl-s-triazine)s were prepared by interfacial or solution polycondensation reactions of various diamines such as ethylenediamine, hexamethy-lenediamine or bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)methane with 2-dialkoxyphosphinyl-4,6-dichloro-s-triazines. The latter were synthesized by reacting cyanuric chloride with an equimolar amount of trialkyl phosphite. The phosphorous-containing polymers were characterized by inherent viscosity measurements as well as by infrared (IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) spectroscopy. The thermal properties of polymers were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Pyrolysis of all polymers was exothermic. Polymers were stable up to 150–200°C both in nitrogen and air atmosphere. They afforded 16–42% char yield at 700°C under anaerobic conditions.     

Dipolar additions with 1-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)- and 1-(4,6-dimethoxy-s-triazin-2-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium betaines

Cycloaddition to 1-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)- and 1-(4,6-dimethoxy-s-triazin-2-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium betaines across the 2,6-positions of the pyridine rings with indene, acenaphthylene and ethyl cinnamate gave substituted 8-aza[3.2.1]bicycIooct-3-en-2-ones, whereas the [6π + 4π] cycloaddition reaction with 6,6-dimethylfulvene gave a tricyclo[6.3.1.0^2.6]dodeca-2,(6),4,9-trien-11-one. Structural and configurational assignments of the cycloadducts were deduced from ¹H nmr and ir spectral data.     

Synthesis of a 2-Methyl-4-sulfanilamido-s-triazine derivative

An attempt to obtain 2-methyl-4-sulfanilamido-s-triazine (XXI) by condensation of 2-amino-4-methyl-s-triazine (II) with p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride (III) in pyridine and in benzene containing trimethylamine gave instead the unexpected products, guanidine N-acetylsulfanilate (IV) (after hydrolysis) and N¹,N¹-dimethylsulfanilamide (V), respectively. On the other hand, 2-methyl-4-methylthio-6-sulfanilamido-s-triazine (XIX) was obtained from 4,6-dimethylthio-s-triazine (XVII), but the reduction of XIX with Raney nickel in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution also gave an unexpected compound, sulfaguanidine (XX).     

Relation of the chemical structure of polycyanurates to thermal and mechanical properties

Forty polycyanurates were prepared by the interfacial polycondensation of 2-substituted 4,6-dichloro-s-triazines with various aromatic diols. Nitrobenzene was used as a solvent, aqueous sodium hydroxide as an acid acceptor, and a cationic emulsifier as an accelerator. The rate of reaction was largely increased by ultrasonic irradiation. The polymer yield was in the range 57–91%, and the reduced viscosity was 0.41–3.5. The polymers were soluble in chloroform, nitrobenzene, and o-dichlorobenzene but insoluble in common organic solvents such as alcohol, acetone, and hydrocarbons. A clear film was obtained from the chloroform-soluble polymers after evaporation of the solvent. The softening temperature and the thermal stability of each polycyanurate was significantly related to the substituent on the s-triazine nucleus as well as to the diol component in the molecular chain. Polymers of favorable properties were derived from 2-substituted 4,6-dichloro-s-triazines with R = ? C₆H₅, ? N(C₆H₅)₂, ? N(C₆H₁₁)₂, ? N(C₆H₅)(SO₂C₆H₄CH₃), or carbazyl and aromatic diols such as 4,4′-dihydroxybenzophenone, Bisphenol A, or phenolphthalein. These polymers showed tensile strength of 500–670 kg/cm², elongation at break of 2.9–6.0%, and a minor weight loss at 300–350°C.     

Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of 2,4,6-Tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine. 3. Reaction of 2,4,6-Tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine with Azides and Hydrazine

As a result of nucleophilic substitution of the trinitromethyl groups in 2,4,6-tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine, the corresponding monoazido and diazido derivatives have been synthesized. The reaction of the starting triazine with hydrazine acetate in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid leads to 1-acetyl-2,2-bis[4,6-bis(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]hydrazine.     

On the amination of 1,2,4-triazines by potassium amide in liquid ammonia and by phenyl phosphorodiamidate. A 15n-study

The amination of 5-R- and 6-R-3-X-1,2,4-triazines (R = C₆H₅, t-C₄H₉, X = SCH₃, SO₂CH₃, N⁺ (CH₃)₃, Cl) by potassium amide in liquid ammonia has been studied. In all reactions the formation of the corresponding 3-amino-1,2,4-triazines takes place; in some reactions by-products were found: from 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine a ring contracted product i.e. 5-phenyl and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazole, from 6-phenyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine the dimer 3,3′-bis-(methylthio)-6,6′-bisphenyl-5,5′-bi-1,2,4-triazine and from 5-t-butyl-3-(trimethylammonio)-1,2,4-triazine chloride compound bis-(5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)- amine. Furthermore the conversion of 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-one into the corresponding 3-amino compound by treatment with phenyl phosphorodiamidate (PPDA) was studied. A ¹⁵N study of these aminations showed that nearly all compounds undergo substitution according to both S_N(AE) and S_N(ANRORC) processes. The contribution of each of the competitive mechanisms to the amination is strongly influenced by the character of the leaving group.     

Synthesis of 2-(hydroxyphenylamino)- and 2-(aminophenylamino)-4-methylquinolines and N,N′-bis(4-methylquinolin-2-yl)benzenediamines

2-(Hydroxyphenylamino)- and 2-(aminophenylamino)-4-methylquinolines and N,N′-bis(4-methylquinolin-2-yl)benzenediamines were synthesized by reactions of 2-chloro-4-methylquinolines with o-, m-, and p-aminophenols and o-, m-, and p-phenylenediamines.     

Fe(III) Complexes Based on Mono- and Bis-pyrazolyl-s-triazine Ligands: Synthesis,Molecular Structure,Hirshfeld, and Antimicrobial Evaluations

The self-assembly of iron(III) chloride with three pyrazolyl-s-triazine ligands, namely 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-(piperidin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (^PipBPT), 4-(4,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)morpholine (^MorphBPT), and 4,4’-(6-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)dimorpholine (^bisMorphPT) afforded [Fe(^PipBPT)Cl₂][FeCl₄] (1), [Fe(^MorphBPT)Cl₂][FeCl₄] (2), and [H(^bisMorphPT)][FeCl₄]. ^bisMorphPT.2H₂O (3), respectively, in good yield. In complexes 1 and 2, the Fe(III) is pentacoordinated with three Fe-N interactions from the pincer ligand and two coordinated chloride anions in the inner sphere, and FeCl₄¯ in the outer sphere. Complex 3 is comprised of one protonated ligand as cationic part, one FeCl₄¯ anion, and one neutral ^bisMorphPT molecule in addition to two crystallized water molecules. Analysis of molecular packing using Hirshfeld calculations indicated that H…H and Cl…H are the most important in the molecular packing. They comprised 40.1% and 37.4%, respectively in 1 and 32.4% and 37.8%, respectively in 2. Complex 1 exhibited the most bioactivity against the tested microbes while 3 had the lowest bioactivity. The ^bisMorphPT and ^MorphBPT were inactive towards the tested microbes while ^PipBPT was active. As a whole, the Fe(III) complexes have enhanced antibacterial and antifungal activities as compared to the free ligands.     

Reductive acylamination of pyridine <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-oxide with ethylenediamine and phenylenediamines

Reactions of pyridine N-oxide with ethylenediamine and o- and p-phenylenediamines in the presence of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in alkaline medium lead to the formation of the corresponding N,N′-bis-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-N,N′-bis(pyridin-2-yl)diamines as a result of reductive acylamination.     

The crystal and molecular structure of 5-N-methyl-β-d-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-S-triazine-4,6-dione: Molecular modeling studies on the pattern of alkylation of β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione

The involvement of the 5′-hydroxyl group on β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione ( 1b ), to form an intramolecular covalent adduct at C6, is postulated to explain the formation of almost equal amounts of 5-N-alkyl-β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione and 5-N-alkyl-β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-s-triazine-4,6-dione during alkylation of 1b . An X-ray crystallographic study was conducted on 5-N-methyl-β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-s-triazine-4,6-dione ( 2a ) and its solid state structure was established. This was compared to the energy minimized structure of the same compound that was generated by the molecular modeling program, MACROMODEL. Force field calculations (Allinger's MM2) on this structure and other intermediates lend support to the concept of formation of the intramolecular covalent adduct.     

4,6-Dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl β-d-glycosaminides: Novel Substrates for Transglycosylation Reaction Catalyzed by Exo-β-d-glucosaminidase from Amycolatopsis orientalis

A novel sugar adduct, 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl β-d-glucosaminide (GlcN-β-DMT), has been prepared by the reaction of d-glucosamine (GlcN) and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-morpholinium chloride (DMT-MM). The adduct was recognized by exo-β-d-glucosaminidase (GlcNase) from Amycolatopsis orientalis and transferred the GlcN moiety, giving rise to the corresponding glucosaminides. This chemo-enzymatic process was successfully applied to d-galactosamine (GalN). GalN-β-DMT prepared directly from GalN and DMT-MM behaved as an efficient glycosyl donor for transfer of the GalN moiety catalyzed by the same enzyme. The introduction of the 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl leaving group to the anomeric center significantly enhanced transglycosylating ability, resulting in the efficient glycosidase-catalyzed synthesis of glycosaminides.     

Fused s-triazino heterocycles. XVIII. 1,3,4,7,11c-Pentaazabenz[de]anthracene and 1,3,4,6,7,11c-hexaazabenz[de]anthracene. Two new ring systems

The reaction of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine ( 3a ) with trimethylacetyl chloride gave 4-chloro-6-methyl-2-trimethylacetamidopyrimidine ( 5 ). This latter compound with excess anthranilonitrile gave in one step 2-t-butyl-5-methyl-1,3,4,7,11c-pentaazabenz[de]anthracene ( 6a ). To prepare 2-t-butyl-5-dimethylamino-1,3,4,6,7,11c-hexaazabenz[de]anthracene ( 6b ) it was found necessary to first react 2-amino-4-chloro-6-dimethylamino -5 -triazine ( 3b ) with anthranilonitrile to yield the intermediate product 2-amino-4(2-cyanoanilino)-6-dimethylamino-s-triazine ( 4 ). Reaction of the latter with trimethylacetyl chloride gave 6b .
