Novel camphor-1,2,4-triazines fused with imidazole 2–3 , thiadiazole 4 , 1,2,4-triazole 7 , pyrimidine 9–13 and 1,3,5-triazine 14 , were synthesized starting from (5R,8S)-3-amino-5,9,9-trimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methano-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1 . Evaluation of central nervous system stimulant activity demonstrated that the presence of a N-N group at C-3 position of 1,2,4-benzotriazine will be essential for the activity.

Utilization of cleavage of the [1]benzofuro[2,3‐e][1,2,4]triazine ring for the synthesis of oxygen,nitrogen and sulfur derivatives of [1,2,4]triazine

A series of 6‐azacytosines 4a‐4k and 5a‐5c were prepared by nucleophilic cleavage of furan ring of [1]benzofuro[2,3‐e][1,2,4]triazine derivative 1 . Some of them were used for the preparation of derivatives of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐d][1,2,4]triazine ( 6a‐6d ) and tetrazolo[1,5‐d][1,2,4]triazine (7). The reaction of 1 with hydrogen sulfide afforded the corresponding 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐5‐thioxo‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐tri‐azin‐3(2H)‐one ( 8 ), while with hydrogen selenide 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazin‐3(2H)‐one ( 9 ) was formed.

A Facile and Efficient Synthesis of Novel 1,2,4-Triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-one Derivatives

Summary.  A facile and efficient synthesis of a series of novel 1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolines is described. 2,3-Diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones were obtained by reaction of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with aromatic aldehydes as well as by ring closure of the corresponding anils. Treatment of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with aromatic carboxylic acids afforded 2,3-diaryl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones which could also be synthesized by dehydrogenation of the corresponding dihydro derivatives. Reaction of 3-amino-2-arylamino-3H-quinazolin-4-ones with diethyl malonate and acetylacetone gave 3-aryl-3,9-dihydro-9-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-2-yl-acetic acid ethyl ester and 3-aryl-2-methyl-3H-1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9-ones, respectively. The latter compounds were also prepared via reaction with acetic anhydride, whereas acetylation with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine afforded the acetyl derivatives.

Cascade cyclization reactions of 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazole with aromatic aldehydes and cycloalkanones

A three-component condensation of 3,4,5-triamino-1,2,4-triazole (1) with aromatic aldehydes 2a–f and dimedone (3) or cyclohexanone (8) afforded partially hydrogenated 9-aryl-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8-ones. The structure of 2-amino-6,6-dimethyl-3-(4-nitrobenzylidene)amino-9-(4-nitrophenyl)-5,6,7,9-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-8-one (4e) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction data.

A new method for the synthesis of novel 6-quinoxalinylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

The reaction of the quinoxaline 1 with 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium chloride 7 at room temperature gave 3-[α-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylhydrazono)methoxycarbonylmethyl]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxaline 8. The pmr spectrum of 8 in deuteriodimethylsulfoxide supported the presence of two tautomers 8-I and 8-II. Refluxing of 8 in N,N-dimethylformamide or acetic acid resulted in cyclization to afford 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 9. Compound 9 was also obtained directly by the reaction of 1 with 7 under reflux in better yield. The reaction of 9 with hydrazine hydrate provided the hydrazinium salt 10 , while the reactions of 9 with triethyl and trimethyl orthoformates in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene produced 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11a and 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-methoxyl-3-(3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 11b , respectively. The chlorination of 11a with phosphoryl chloride gave 3-(3-chloroquinoxalin-2-yl)-8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxylpyrazolo[5,1-c]-[1,2,4]triazine 12 , whose reaction with morpholine afforded 8-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethoxyl-3-[3-(morpholin-4-yl)-quinoxalin-2-yl]pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine 13.     

Synthesis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide and certain related nucleosides

1-β-D-Ribofuranosyl- 21 , 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erytftro-pento fur anosyl)- 27 and 1-β-D-arabinofuranosyl- 29 derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 19 ) have been prepared. Glycosylation of the silylated 19 with 1,2,3,5-tetra-0-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranose ( 5 ) in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate gave the corresponding blocked nucleoside ( 20 ), which on ammonolysis afforded 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 21 ). Stereospecific glycosylation of the sodium salt of 19 with either 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-α-D-erythro-pentofuranose ( 22 ) or 1-chloro-2,3,5-tri-0-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranose ( 23 ) provided the corresponding protected nucleosides 26 and 28. Deprotection of 26 and 28 furnished 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 27 ) and 1-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-sulfonamide ( 29 ), respectively. 2-0-D-Ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione ( 7 ) and 4-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3(2H)-thione ( 9 ) were also prepared utilizing either an acid catalyzed fusion of 1,2,4-triazole-3(1H,2H)-thione ( 4 ) with 5 , the reaction of 5 with silylated 4 in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate, or by ring closure of 4-(2,3,5-tri-0-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)thiosemicarbazide ( 10 ) with mixed anhydride and subsequent deacylation. The synthesis of 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-3-benzylthio-1,2,4-triazole ( 15 ) has also been accomplished by the silylation procedure employing 3-benzylthio-1,2,4-triazole ( 13 ) and 5 to give 1-(2,3,5-tri-0-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-3-benzylthio-1,2,4-triazole ( 14 ). Deacetylation of 14 furnished 15 . The structural assignments of 7, 14 and 21 were made by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and their hydrogen bonding characteristics have been studied. The sulfonamido-1,2,4-triazole nucleosides are devoid of any significant antiviral or antitumor activity in cell culture.     

Aromatization and ring cyclization: A reasonable understanding on the ring cyclization mechanism of 3‐amino‐6‐hydrazino‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one reacted with one‐carbon fragment reagents or nitrous acid

The cyclization mechanism for the title compound ( 2 ) reacting with one‐carbon fragment reagents or nitrous acid to afford heterobicyclic compounds 6‐amino‐3‐substituted‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐f][1,2,4]triazin‐8(7H)‐ones ( 3a～d ) or 6‐amino‐1,2,3,4‐tetrazolo[5,1‐f][1,2,4]triazin‐8(7H)‐one ( 4 ), respectively, is explored in this paper. When 3‐amino‐2‐benzyl‐6‐hydrazino‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one ( 10 ), the N‐2 benzylated derivative of 2 , is treated under the same conditions, ring cyclization does not occur; instead, 3‐amino‐2‐benzyl‐6‐substituted‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐ones ( 11,12,14 ) and 2‐N‐(2‐amino‐1‐benzyl‐4‐oxo‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5‐yl)semicarbazide ( 13 ) are formed. Alternatively, when 3‐amino‐6‐hydrazino‐2‐[(2‐hydroxyethoxy)methyl]‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one ( 16 ), a compound bearing the 2‐[(2‐hydroxyethoxy)methyl] side‐chain at N‐2 of 2 by an N? C? O bond, reacts with glacial acetic acid or nitrous acid, the side‐chain is cleaved through acidolysis to affford the ring‐closed compound 6‐amino‐3‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,4‐f][1,2,4]triazin‐8(7H)‐one ( 3b ) or compound 4 , respectively. From these results, we suggest a cyclization mechanism that the ring cyclization is dependent on the aromatization of the 1,2,4‐triazine ring, which influence the reactivity and reaction behavior of the π‐deficient 1,2,4‐triazine.     

On Triazoles. XIII. The reaction of 5-benzalimino-1,2,4-triazoles with substituted acetyl chlorides

Synthesis of representative 10-aryl-, 10-aralkyl- and 10-heteraryl-9H-naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b]- [1,2,4]triazin-9-ones as potential anti-HIV agents

To prepare the title compounds, cyclocondensation of 1-amino-2-iminonaphtho[1,2-d]thiazole ( 2 ) with some representative glyoxylic acid derivatives was investigated. Heating 2 with methyl phenylglyoxylate ( 3a ) in methanol afforded only the open chain intermediates 4a,b . However, when this reaction was performed in re-fluxing glacial acetic acid, the expected compound, 10-phenyl-9H-naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]- triazin-9-one ( 5a ) was produced in 27% yield. Similar treatment of 2 with benzyl-, 2-furyl- and 2-thienylgly-oxylic acids 3b-d gave the corresponding 10-benzyl-, 10-(2-furyl)- and 10-(2-thienyl)-9H-naphtho[1′,2′:4,5]thi-azolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazin-9-ones 5b-d in 48–67% yields. As by-products, 9-benzoyl- and 9-(2-thenoyl)naphtho-[1′,2′:4,5]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazoles 6a,d were also isolated. Compound 5a was selected for in vitro anti-HIV evaluation but found to be inactive.

5-(1,2,4-Triazinyl) substituted enamines 3 react with 5(4H)-oxazolones 4 in acetic anhydride to give acetylated products 5 , while in toluene-acetic acid mixture nonacetylated products 9 are formed. Both types of products were isolated as (E,Z) mixtures. Compounds 5 and 9 rearrange into 6H-pyrido[1,2-d]-[1,2,4]triazin-6-ones 12 by heating in formic acid or in xylene, respectively. Compounds 5 are transformed in the presence of nucleophiles, such as sodium alkoxides or sodium amides via anionic form 10 into corresponding esters 13 and amides 14 of γ-(5-(1,2,4-triazinylidene)) substituted derivatives of α-amino-2-butenoic acid, which exist in 2-(Z),4-(Z) form.
