Easy formation of SNH products in reactions of indoles and pyrroles with 3-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones in the presence of tosyl chloride

The reactions of 3-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones with indoles and pyrroles in the presence of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride afforded 3-aryl-6-hetaryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones in high yields. The latter are products of the nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen.     

Reactions of 1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones with phenols and aromatic amines

1,2,4-Triazin-5(2H)-ones 1 react as well with phenols, resorinol and its dimethyl ethers, as with dimethyland diethylaniline, yielding 6-aryl-1,6-didydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 2, 4–8, 12–15. Oxidation of the 1,6-dihydroadducts 2a,b gives the corresponding 3-aryl-6-hydroxyphenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones 3a,b. Rection of 1,2,4-triazinones 1 with 2-naphthylamine leads to destruction of the 1,2,4-triazine ring yielding benzo[e]indole-2,3-dione 19.     

Synthesis and structure of dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H) ones

Reactions of the iminoesters 3a-c with hydrazine or 1,2-dimethylhydrazine gave 4,5-dihydro- 4a-c or 2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H) ones 7a-c , respectively. When methylhydrazine was employed, 1-methyl-4, 5-dihydro- 5a-c and 2-methyl-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6(1H) ones 6a-c were obtained. Compounds 6a-c exist as zwitterions in the solid state and in polar aprotic solvents.

Reduction of 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1a ) with sodium borohydride afforded 3-methylthio-1,6-dihydrotriazin-5(4H)-one ( 2b ) selectively. 3-Methylthio-6-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 1d ) reacted with sodium borohydride to give mainly 6-t-butyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one ( 3d ). The reaction of various 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with sodium borohydride and the influence of bulkiness and electronic effect of the substituents at the 3- and 6-positions upon the product ratio, are also discussed.     

Asymmetric induction in the reactions of 3-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones with C-nucleophiles

3-Aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones, in the presence of N-protected amino acids, react with C-nucleophiles to form 1-acyl-6-Nu-3-aryl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones in high diastereomeric excess. This is the first case of the use of amino acids as chiral auxiliaries in nucleophilic additions to triazinones.     

Regioselectivity of cyclization of 1-(6-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides by treating with methyl iodide and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide

1-(6-Methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides treated with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium acetate in ethanol convert into 6-methyl-3-arylamino[1,2,4]-triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazin-7(1H)-ones. In reaction with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide 6-methyl-3-arylamino[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-c][1,2,4]triazin-5(1H)-ones were obtained which at heating in alcohol solution in the presence of sodium acetate or at 262–272°C underwent the Dimroth rearrangement to give 3-methyl-7-arylamino[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]-triazin-4(8H)-ones.     

Synthesis of 8-Aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4]triazin-5(6H)-ones by S HN Reactions

A new procedure has been proposed for the synthesis of 8-aryl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4]-triazin-5(6H)-ones by reaction of 6-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-ones with hydrazides derived from aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic carboxylic acids. The process invloves nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (S_N ^H)in aryltriazinones, oxidative closure of azole ring, and Dimroth rearrangement.     

1,2,4-Triazines, 9. The synthesis of novel 4-amino-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazinones

3-Alkylthio-4-amino-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones were synthesized by the reduction of 3-thio-4-amino-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2.H,4H)-diones and successive S-alkylation. The regiospecific alkylation on the N-1 position or the exo amino group leads to a variety of 1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one derivatives. An alternative synthesis of 3-thio-4-amino-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-diones was accomplished through the cyclization of 1-thiocarbohydrazidoacetamide derivatives.     

A novel reaction of (2a7-trinito-9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)-propanedinitrile with N-arylisoindolines

N-Arylisoindolines 1a-c reacted with (2,4, 7-trinitro-9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)propanedinitrile ( A ) in pyridine with admission of air via a net α-H-atom abstraction and formation of [3-(2-aryl-3-arylimino-2,3-dihydro- 1H-isoindol-1-ylidene)-2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-ylidene]propanedinitriles 2a-c , N-[2-aryl-3-(2-aryl-3-arylimino-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindolyl-1-idene)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-ylidene]arenamines 3a, b , N, N'-[2-aryl-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-diylidene]bisarenamines 4a, b and N-arylphthalimides 5a-c in moderate yields. 2,4,7-Trinitro-9-fluorenone as well as one reduction product each of the latter and of A, namely compounds 6 and 7 , respectively, are also found. The structure of 2b has been unambiguously confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. A rationale for the conversions observed is presented. These involve dehydrogenation and oxidative couplings of 1a-c as well as transfer of N-aryl fragment from 1a-c to intermediate products.     

Direct diastereoselective introduction of l-menthol residue into 1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one

The reaction of 3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (1) with l-menthol in the presence of aliphatic acid anhydrides results in (6S)- and (6R)-1-acyl-6-(l-menth-3-yl)-1,6-dyhydro-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones. 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.     

N-ethoxycarbonylamidines as starting materials and intermediates in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds

Treatment of N-ethoxycarbonylthioamides ( 1 ) with primary aromatic amines yields N-aryl-N′-ethoxy-carbonylamidines ( 2 ), which thermally cyclize to 2-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones ( 6 ). Analogous reactions of 1 with ethyl 3-aminocrotonate and with 2-amino-2-thiazoline lead respectively to ethyl 2-aryl-3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-4-oxo-5-pyrimidinecarboxylates ( 10 ) and to 2-aryl-6,7-dihydro-4H-thiazolo[3,2-a]-1,3,5-triazin-4-ones ( 14 ), presumably through the corresponding N-ethoxycarbonylamidines.

A study was carried out on the reaction of 4-amino-6-R-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones with halo ketones in alkaline media to yield 4-amino-6-R-4,5-dihydro-3-phenacylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones, which then convert to 8H-3-R-7-aryl-1,2,4-triazino[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-4-ones.     

A convenient synthesis of 3-aryl-4H- Benzopyrano[3,4-d]isoxazol-4-ones

Regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides 5a-c to ethyl o-hydroxycinnamate (3) gave the corresponding ethyl trans-3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-isoxazolecarboxylates 6a-c . Their structure was confirmed by reductive cleavage to 1 and compounds 9a-c . Compounds 6a-c afforded upon heating in the presence of pyridine the 3-aryl-4H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-d]isoxazol-4-ones 11a-c . Compound 10c was also isolated from 6c and transformed thermally into 11c .     

Ring-transformation of 1,2,4-oxadiazines. Raney nickel hydrogenation of Z-3-aryl-5,6-dihydro-5-(substituted)methylene-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazine derivatives

Raney nickel hydrogenation of Z-3-aryl-5-(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazine ( 1a-c ) affords 2-aryl-6-hydroxymethyl-4-pyrimidinone ( 2 ) and ethyl (2-aryl-4-oxazolyl)acetate ( 3 ). A similar hydrogenation of Z-5-arylcarbarnoyl)methylene-5,6-dihydro-3-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-oxadiazine ( 1d-f ) gives E-4-(arylcarbamoyl)methylene-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline ( 5 ), 4-(arylcarbamoyl)methyl-2-phenyloxazole ( 6 ), and Z-4-(aryl-carbamoyl)methylene-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline ( 7 ).

On the preparation of substituted 4H- 1,3,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones and 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

The reaction of benzoyl isothiocyanates and methoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate with 4-amino-4,5-dihydro-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5-ones in acetonitrile gave several substituted 4H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazin-4-ones VIa-h instead of the expected thioureas. In addition, benzoyl isothiocyanate reacted with 4-amino-3-(methylthio)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole to give the benzoyl thiourea IX and with 4-amino-3-mercapto-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole to give the bicyclic compound N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-6-yl]benzamide IX .
