An Energetic Triazolo‐1,2,4‐Triazine and its N‐Oxide

The reaction of 3‐amino‐5‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazole with nitrous acid produces the corresponding diazonium salt. When the diazonium salt is treated with nitroacetonitrile, a subsequent condensation and cyclization reaction occurres to produced 4‐amino‐3,7‐dinitrotriazolo‐[5,1‐c][1,2,4] triazine (DPX‐26). X‐ray crystallographic analysis shows that the DPX‐26 has a density of 1.86 g cm^?3, while it is calculated to have a heat of formation of 398.3 kJ mol^?1. DPX‐26 is predicted to approach the explosive performance of RDX but displays significantly better safety properties. Oxidation of DPX‐26 using hypofluorous acid produces 4‐amino‐3,7‐dinitrotriazolo‐[5,1‐c][1,2,4] triazine 4‐oxide (DPX‐27), which is also predicted to be a high‐performance material with enhanced safety properties.     

On triazoles XLI [1]. Synthesis of meso‐ionic [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazoles

Type 6 meso‐ionic [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazoles were synthesised by oxidation of the corresponding N‐methyl‐N'‐(substitutedbenzal)‐5‐amino‐3‐substituted‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)thiohydrazide ( 3 ) type bases or their [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐d][1,2,3,6]tetrazepin‐5‐thion ( 4 ) type ring tautomers. Besides spectroscopical evidence a preparative proof of their structure was also provided. X‐ray diffraction analysis of 3‐methylthio‐6‐morpholino‐1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]thiadiazole ( 8 ) showed quite unusual bond lengths for the N¹‐S and S‐C³ bonds of the thiadiazole ring proving the meso‐ionic character of these derivatives unequivocally.

In every case the corresponding [1,4]‐thiazino[3,4‐c][1,2,4]oxadiazol‐3‐ones 2b‐e have been obtained. In particular, the benzoderivative 1e furnished the 4‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐4‐hydroxy‐4H‐benzo[5,6][1,4]thiazino[3,4‐c][1,2,4]oxadiazol‐1‐one 2e , containing a new tricyclic system with a quasi‐planar geometry whose pharmacological potentialities appear promising.     

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.

Azo-coupling of pyrazole-3(5)-diazonium chlorides with cyanothioacetamide: a convenient synthesis of pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-3-carbothioamides

Cyanothioacetamide reacts with pyrazole-3(5)-diazonium chlorides to afford pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-3-carbothioamides 5. The latter can be oxidized with H₂O₂ to give either pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-3-carboxamides or 1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives, depending on the reaction conditions. The Hantzsch-type reaction of thioamides 5 with α-bromo ketones leads to 3-(thiazol-2-yl)pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines.

Synthesis of Condensed and Uncondensed Tetrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazines as Potential Antimicrobial Agents

Summary. Reactions of two cyclic amidrazones, the 6-methyl and 6-phenyl derivatives of 7-hydrazinotetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines with mono- and dicarbonyl compounds afforded various heterocyclic systems. Thus, acetic acid, benzoyl chloride, or ethyl chloroformate reacted with the former cyclic amidrazones to yield the corresponding [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d]tetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines. With pyruvic acid or ethyl pyruvate the corresponding hydrazone derivatives were obtained, which then cyclized to tetrazolo[1′,5′:2,3][1,2,4]triazino[5,4-c][1,2,4]triazines. The 9,10-dioxotetrazolo-triazinotriazine structures were synthesized by condensative cyclization of the cyclic amidrazones with diethyl oxalate, whereas the reaction of these amidrazones with acetylacetone or ethyl acetoacetate furnished pyrazolyltetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines through the isolable hydrazone intermediates. Some of the representative members of the prepared compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity.     

Regioselective alkylation of 1H-7-ethoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole and 1H-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole

The hydrolysis-decarboxylation of 1,6-dimethyl-7-ethoxycarbonyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole yields a compound identical with that obtained by the direct methylation of 1H-6-methyl-3-phenyl-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole. The 1-N-alkylation is confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
