Differentiation between [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a] pyrimidine and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]‐ pyrimidine regioisomers by 1H?15N HMBC experiments

The condensation of malonoaldehyde derivatives with either a 3‐amino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole or a 3,5‐diamino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole precursor was studied. In agreement with previous reports, two different bicycles, namely, bearing the regioisomeric [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) or[1,2,4] triazolo [4,3‐a]pyrimidine ( 2 ) structural surrogates, could be obtained. We found that, depending on the triazole precursor, only one regioisomer resulted, either of the 1 or 2 series. We also observed that these two structural surrogates could be unambiguously differentiated by indirectly measuring their ¹⁵N chemical shifts by ¹H? ¹⁵N HMBC experiments. The occasional conversion of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines to the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine counterparts could be unequivocally determined by ¹⁵N NMR data.
