3-Hydrazino-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones in Reactions with Compounds Containing Carbonyl and Active Methylene Groups

Boiling of ethyl cyanoacetate with 6-tert-butyl-3-hydrazino-1'2'4-triazin-5(2H)-one in alkalinemedium yielded 6-tert-butyl-3-(5-hydroxy-3-oxo-2'3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1'2'4-triazin-5(2H)-one.Acylation of 6-tert-butyl-3-hydrazino-1'2'4-triazin-5(2H)-one with benzoyl chloride furnished 3-benzoyl-hydrazido-1'2'4-triazine that cyclized when treated with POCl₃ providing a derivative of[1'2'4]triazolo[4'3-b][1'2'4]triazine. Boiling of 6-tert-butyl-3-hydrazino-1'2'4-triazin-5(2H)-one in glacialacetic acid gave rise to diacetylated derivative whereas the boiling with acetic anhydride in an inert solventafforded monoacetylated product.     

1,2,4-triazines. 1. A convenient synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-(2H)one and its 6-substituted derivatives

A facile synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-(2H)one (2a) from 5-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-3-(2H)one (1a) with sodium borohydride is described. The reaction provides a convenient method for its 6-substituted derivatives (2b-h).     

Direct introduction of heterocyclic residues into 1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)ones

3-Aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 1a-c react with indoles 2a-c in trifluoroacetic acid/chloroform or in boiling butanol or acetic acid to give 3-aryl-6-(indolyl-3)-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-g . Oxidation of the dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a-e afforded 6-(indolyl-3)-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 4a-e , products of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in 1a-c .

The reaction of 1a-c with indoles 2a-c , pyrroles 5a,b , 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylpyrazol-4-one (8) and aminothiazoles 9a,b in acetic anhydride affords the 1-acetyl-3-aryl-6-hetaryl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 6a-s . Reaction of 1a-c with N-methyl-pyrrole 5b in acetic anhydride gives beside the 1:1 addition products 6h-k also the 2:1 addition products 7a-c .

The reaction is diastereoselective with predominant formation of (6S)-isomers. The reaction diastereoselectivity increases with enhancement of the steric hindrance in the vicinity of the reaction center of the azine.

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.

Subsequent reaction of 2-amino-1,2,4-triazinones 6a-b with amines, followed by ring closure with aliphatic acids provided [1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-b][1,2,4]triazine-7(1H)ones 13a-e. Conversion of [1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-b][1,2,4]triazinone 13c to unsubstituted [1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-6][1,2,4]triazine (15) was attained.
