It involves car‐bohydrazide formation followed by a condensation with triphosgene to form the fused [1,2,4]triazino ring. In addition, the reactivity of the [1,2,4]triazino ring has been studied.     

The synthesis of substituted pyrazino[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines

The synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines and the unknown ring system, pyrazino[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine, has been achieved. The preparation of the new tricyclic 1,2,4-triazole was accomplished first by ring closure of the triazole ring followed by formation of the pyrazine ring. Substitution of the pyrazino[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine ring system was carried out in order to provide information of its reactivity and to provide a variety of interesting compounds for biological testing.

A method for the preparation of new 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole derivatives has been suggested based on modification of the N-hydroxymethyl group by nitration and nucleophilic substitution reactions. Thermal stability of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole N-nitroxy- and N-azidomethyl derivatives, as well as of dinitrates, 5,5′-dinitro-2,2 ′-bisnitroxymethyl-2 H,2′H-3,3 ′-bi(1,2,4-triazole) and -(nitromethylene)bis(1,2,4-triazole), has been studied.     

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 6,8-substituted derivatives of imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines and 1,4-dihydroimidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones

The cyclization of imidazolylhydrazines, synthesized from 5-diazoimidazoles and cyanoacetic acid derivatives, to 4-aminoimidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines and imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones has been studied. It was established that electron-withdrawing substituents at position 4 of the imidazole ring had a weak effect on the cyclization process. On the other hand, electron-donating substituents at positions 4 or 2 of this ring inhibited and in some cases completely prevented the formation of bicyclic products.Urals State Technical University (UPI), Ekaterinburg 620002, Russia.

The reaction of 6-amino-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)clione with sodium hydroxide or nitrous acid has been shown to give 5-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid instead of 6-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-(2H,4H)dione as reported in the literature. The triazolecarboxylic acid was also obtained from the aminotriazine and hydrochloric acid.     

Fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometric studies of trisubstituted 3a,4,5,11-tetrahydro- 1,2,4-oxadiazolo[5,4-d][1,5]benzothiazepines

The fragmentation pathways of nineteen 1,3a,5-trisubstituted 3a,4,5,11-tetrahydro- 1,2,4-oxadiazolo[5,4-d][1,5]benzothiazepines have been studied with the aid of mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry and exact mass measurements using fast-atom bombardment ionization. All compounds show a tendency to eliminate a neutral propene, or substituted or unsubstituted styrene, from the thiazepine ring to yield 1,2,4-oxadiazolo[5,4-b][1,3]benzothiazole ions, and further undergo reverse 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to give benzothiazole ions. The formation of stable conjugated fused tetracyclic systems, substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazolo[5,4-f]phenanthridine ions, was also observed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1,2,4-Triazines. Synthesis of selected members of the s-triazolo[3,4-f]- [1,2,4] triazine and tetrazolo[1,5-f] [1,2,4] triazine ring systems

A convenient synthesis of 3-amino-6-hydrazino-5(2H)[1,2,4]triazinone 4 has been developed and a study of the reactions of 4 with aliphatic acids, orthoesters and miscellaneous active carbonyl reagents has been undertaken. When 4 was refluxed in either neat acid or orthoester in dimethylformamide, a facile ring closure reaction with the N-1 nitrogen of the 1,2,4-triazine ring occurs affording a novel series of 3-aIkyl(aryl)-8(5H)-s-triazolo[3,4-f] [1,2,4]triazinones ( 6–11 ). Ring closure with carbon disulfide and cyanogen bromide is also reported affording 6-amino-3(2H)thio-8(5H)-s-triazolo[3,4-f] [1,2,4]triazinone 12 and 3,6-diamino-8(5H)-s-triazolo-[3,4-f] [1,2,4]triazinone 14 , respectively. In addition 4 has been converted into 3-amino-6-azido-5(2H)-1,2,4-triazinone 15 which was employed in a study of azide-tetrazole equilibrium affording 6-amino-8(5H)tetrazolo[1,5-f][1,2,4]triazinone 16 . Rates for interconversion at various temperatures were measured and an activation energy for the process determined.

The structure of the products obtained was established using ¹H NMR spectroscopy of their dehydriodination products.     

Synthesis and Evaluation of Bioactivity of Thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles and Isomeric Thiazolo[2,3‐c]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles

Synthesis of 2‐(o‐nitrophenyl)‐6‐arylthiazolo[3,2‐b]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles 4 and its isomer 3‐(o‐nitrophenyl)‐5‐arylthiazolo[2,3‐c]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles 6 has been achieved starting from the appropriate 1‐(o‐nitrobenzoyl)‐3‐thiosemicarbazide 1 . Compound 1 on condensation with α‐haloketones gives 2‐(o‐nitrobenzoyl)hydrazino‐4‐arylthiazole hydrobromide 5 , which, on cyclization with POCl₃, affords thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles 6 and not the isomeric thiazolo[3,2‐b]‐[1,2,4]‐triazoles 4 . This has been established by an unequivocal synthesis of 4 through polyphosphoric acid cyclization of 5‐aroylmethylmercapto‐3‐o‐nitrophenyl‐[1,2,4]‐triazole 3 . Compound 3 was synthesized by condensation of α‐haloketones with 5‐mercapto‐3‐(o‐nitrophenyl)‐[1,2,4]‐triazole 2 , obtained cyclization of 2‐(o‐nitrobenzoyl)hydrazinecarbothioamide 1 with NaOH. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of some of the compounds have also been evaluated.     

1,2,4-Triazoles from formic acid-Induced rearrangement of 6-(Phenylhydrazino)uracils

The structure of a rearrangement product of 6-(phenylhydrazino)uracil + formic acid has been proved to be 1-phenyl-3-carboxamidomethyl-1,2,4-triazole: hydrolysis of this compound and thermal decarboxylation of the intermediate acid gave the known 1-phenyl-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole. Yields of triazoles from substituted 6-(phenylhydrazino)uracils follow inversely yields of pyrimidoindoles derived from Fischer-type cyclization [J. Heterocyclic Chem., 13 , 539 (1976)]. The lack of formation of a triazole from 3-methyl-6-(phenylhydrazino)uracil suggests that an intermediate in this rearrangement, ie., that resulting from formylation of the anilino nitrogen atom followed by intramolecular cyclization involving the uracil 1-nitrogen atom, must undergo conjugate elimination of water to generate the triazole ring.     

Synthesis of New [1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine Derivatives: Reactivity of 3‐Amino[1,2,4]triazole towards Enaminonitriles and Enaminones

A diversity of new 7 ‐substituted[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and 6‐substituted[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐7‐amine derivatives has been synthesized via reaction of 3‐amino‐[1,2,4]triazole with enaminonitriles and enaminones. The regio orientation and the structure of the products were confirmed by spectral and analytical data and synthesis via an alternative route. The procedure proved to be simple, efficient, and high yielding, and diversities of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines were obtained.     

Synthesis and Promising Properties of a New Family of High‐Nitrogen Compounds: Polyazido‐ and Polyamino‐Substituted N,N′‐Azo‐1,2,4‐triazoles

A new family of high‐nitrogen compounds, that is, polyazido‐ and polyamino‐substituted N,N′‐azo‐1,2,4‐triazoles, were synthesized in a safe and convenient manner and fully characterized. The structures of 3,3′,5,5′‐tetra(azido)‐4,4′‐azo‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 15 ) and 3,3′,5,5′‐tetra(amino)‐4,4′‐azo‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 23 ) were also confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed to determine their thermal stability. Their heats of formation and density, which were calculated by using Gaussian 03, were used to determine the detonation performances of the related compounds (EXPLO 5.05). The heats of formation of the polyazido compounds were also derived by using an additive method. Compound 15 has the highest heat of formation (6933 kJ kg^?1) reported so far for energetic compounds and a detonation performance that is comparable to that of octahydro‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocine (HMX), while compound 23 has a decomposition temperature of up to 290 °C.     

Selenium Dioxide–Mediated Synthesis of Fused 1,2,4-Triazoles as Cytotoxic Agents

A series of fused 1,2,4-triazoles has been prepared by oxidative intramolecular cyclization of heterocyclic hydrazones with selenium dioxide. General applicability of this practical protocol was confirmed by the synthesis of moderate to good yields of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridines, 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines, 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyramidines, and 1,2,4-triazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxa lines. All compounds were tested in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against HCT-116, A549, and Colo-205 cell lines. Two compounds, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxaline, showed potent antiproliferative activity against the three cell lines.
