Synthesis and central nervous system stimulant activity of camphor-1,2,4-benzotriazines fused with five and six-membered heterocycles

Novel camphor-1,2,4-triazines fused with imidazole 2–3 , thiadiazole 4 , 1,2,4-triazole 7 , pyrimidine 9–13 and 1,3,5-triazine 14 , were synthesized starting from (5R,8S)-3-amino-5,9,9-trimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methano-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1 . Evaluation of central nervous system stimulant activity demonstrated that the presence of a N-N group at C-3 position of 1,2,4-benzotriazine will be essential for the activity.     

Reaction of 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanethioamide with 5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazoles

Reactions of 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanethioamide with 3-substituted 5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazoles in acetic acid led to the formation of 5-methyl-7,8-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-thiones, 7-methyl-5,8-dihydrol[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-thiones and 7-methyl-5-phenylamino[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. The structure of the products was proved by the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction data, and chemical transformations.     

Effect of substituent in pyridine-2-carbaldehydes on their heterocyclization to 1,2,4-triazines and 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides

A series of substituted pyridine-2-carbaldehydes were brought into heterocyclization with isonitrosoacetophenone hydrazones, followed by aromatization by the action of oxidants or by dehydration in boiling acetic acid. As a result, substituted 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazines or 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides were formed. 6-Formylpyridine-2-carbonitrile failed to undergo heterocyclization, 6-methylpyridine-2-carbaldehyde and methyl 6-formylpyridine-3-carboxylate can be converted to both 1,2,4-triazine and 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxide derivative, and only 1,2,4-triazine 4 oxides were obtained from 6-bromopyridine-2-carbaldehyde and 6-formyl-3-phenylpyridine-2-carbonitrile. Convenient procedures were proposed for the synthesis of some initial pyridinecarbaldehydes.     

Synthesis and potential central nervous system stimulant activity of 5,8‐methanoquinazolines and bornano‐triazines fused with imidazole and pyrimidine

Starting from 3‐chloro‐5,8‐methanoquinazoline 1 and 3‐chloro‐bornano[1,2,4]triazine 7 , the novel 5,8‐methanoquinazolines 5a‐b and bornano[1,2,4]triazines 10a‐b fused with imidazole and pyrimidine were prepared. None of these compounds showed any satisfactory central nervous system stimulant activities.     

1,2,4-triazines. 7. Regioselective n2-amination of 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-ones.A novel synthesis of [1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-b][1,2,4]triazinones and -triazine

A regioselective synthesis of 2-aminotriazinones 6a-d is reported, by reaction of 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazinones 5a-d with O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydroxylamine (2) as an amino-transfer agent. A spectroscopic study and an unequivocal synthesis of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazinedione ( 11a ) has shown the site of amination to be N2 of the 1,2,4-triazinone ring. 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.     

Construction of Coplanar Bicyclic Backbones for 1,2,4-Triazole-1,2,4-Oxadiazole-Derived Energetic Materials

Combining different nitrogen-rich heterocycles into a molecule can fine-tune its energetic performance and physical properties as well as its safety for use in energetic materials. Here, 1,2,4-oxadiazole was incorporated into 1,2,4-triazole to construct new energetic backbones. 3-(5-Amino-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-amine ( 5 ) was designed and synthesized. Nitramino-functionalized N-(5-(5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)nitramide ( 6 ) and N-(5-(5-(nitramino)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)nitramide ( 7 ) were also obtained, and two series of corresponding nitrogen-rich salts were prepared, leading to the creation of new energetic compounds. All derivatives were fully characterized, and five of them were further confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The theoretical calculations, energetic performance, safety, and the main decomposition gaseous products of 1,2,4-triazole-1,2,4-oxadiazole-derived energetic materials were studied. Compound 7 and its dihydroxylammonium salt ( 7 c ) exhibited prominent detonation performance comparable to that of RDX while possessing satisfying thermal stabilities and mechanical sensitivities.     

Synthesis of nucleosides of 5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamides

Nucleosides of 5-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamides were prepared by the acid-catalyzed fusion procedure and by glycosylation of the appropriate trimethylsilyl derivative. The following nucleosides were obtained in two steps starting from methyl 4-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylates: 5-chloro-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide ( 6 ), 3-chloro-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 5 ), 3-nitro-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 12 ), 3-amino-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 13 ), 5-methyl-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide ( 15 ), and 3-methyl-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide ( 16 ). In addition, 5-amino-1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide ( 7 ), and 1-β- D -ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide-5-thiol ( 8 ) were prepared from 6 .     

Synthesis of fluorinated 1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones through ANRORC rearrangement of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles

The reaction of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydroxylamines has been investigated, evidencing the possibility of competitive reaction paths. Nucleophilic addition of hydroxylamine to the electrophilic C(5) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, followed by ring-opening and ring-closure with enlargement, leads to high yield and in very mild experimental conditions to the formation of 5-hydroxyamino-3-perfluoroalkyl-6H-1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones, one of these presenting water gelation ability. In turn, reactions with N-methylhydroxylamine lead the exclusive formation of 4-perfluoroacylamino-2-methyl-2H-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-ones through the well known Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement.     

Syntheses of substituted-1,2,4-triazoles

Starting from the readily available 3-phenylpropionitrile, 3-(or 5-)(2-phenethyl)-1,2,4-triazole 3 was prepared. Reaction of compounds 3 with diazomethane afforded 1-methyl-3-(2-phenethyl)-1,2,4-triazole (4) and 1-methyl-5-(2-phenethyl)-1,2,4-triazole (5) . Reaction of compound 3 with methanesulfonyl chloride, benzenesulfonyl chloride or p-toluenesulfonyl chloride afforded only one of the expected isomer; namely compounds 6 , 7 and 8 respectively.     

Synthesis of 8-tert-Butyl-9-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-b]-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]-1,2,4-triazine

8-tert-Butyl-9-oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,5-b]-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]-1,2,4-triazine has been synthesized by the interaction of 6-tert-butyl-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]-1,2,4-triazin-5-one with formic acid. The conditions of carrying out the reaction are discussed. Spectral characteristics are given.

Synthesis of thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazines

3-Methylmercapto-5-oxo-6-vinyl- and 2-methyl-3-mercapto-5-oxo-6-vinyl-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines were readily converted into the corresponding thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazine in one step by the action of phosphorus pentasulfide in pyridine. 4-Methyl-3-mercapto-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine is only converted into the 5-thioxo analog and no thiophene ring product was obtained under the same conditions. Thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazines were also more efficiently obtained by the action of phosphorus petnasulfide in pyridine on the appropriate 6-acylmethyl-3-mercapto-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine.

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.

A regioselective synthesis of 2-amino-1,2,4-triazinones ( 3a-b ) is reported, by reaction of 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazinones ( 1a-b ) with O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydroxylamine ( 2 ), as an amino transfer agent. A spectroscopic study and an unequivocal synthesis of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazinone ( 8a ) has shown the site of amination to be N2 of the 1,2,4,-triazinone ring. Subsequent reaction of 2-amino-1,2,4-triazinone ( 3b ) with ammonium hydroxide, followed by ring closure with formic acid provided [1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-b][1,2,4]triazin-7 (1H)-one ( 10 ).

Compounds 4–6 were deprotected to 3-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]-triazole ( 3 ), 3-amino-1-α-D-ribofuranosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,5-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 8 ), and 3-imino-2H-2-β-D-ribo-furanosyl[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazole ( 9 ), while 7 could not be deprotected without decomposition. Compounds 1, 4, 6, 7 , and 9 were screened and found to have no antiviral activity.

Treatment of methyl α-(dimethylarninomethyleneamino)carboxylates 1 (from α-amino acids and dimethylformamide dimethylacetal) with hydrazine gives 5-substituted-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-6-ones 2 , which are smoothly dehydrogenated to 5-substituted-1,2,4-triazin-6-ones 3 with potassium permanganate in acetone/acetic acid.     

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.

Protonation of 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides

The basicity of some 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides was estimated on a quantitative level, and their probable protonation patterns were ascertained. The dissociation constants of mono- and diprotonated 3-R-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides in aqueous buffer solutions and aqueous sulfuric acid solutions were determined (6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxide: $pK_{BH^ + } = 1.1$ , $pK_{BH^{2 + } } = - 6.02$ ). According to the results of DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-311**) and spectral data, first protonation of 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides involves the N¹ nitrogen atom, and the second proton adds to the N-oxide oxygen atom.     

1,2,4-Triazolium-5-ylidene and 1,2,4-triazol-3,5-diylidene as new ligands for transition metals

Ab initio calculations show the 1,2,4-triazolium-5-ylidene (3a) and 1,2,4-triazol-3,5-diylidene (4a) are true minima on the potential surface. As expected, 4a is much higher in energy than its triazole isomers 5a, 6a and 8a and the 1,2,4-triazol-3-ylidene (7a). Sodium methoxyde adds to the diquaternary salt of 1,2,4-triazoles (9b,c) to give the corresponding monocationic heterocycles 10b,c in 70 and 50% yield, respectively. One equivalent of silver(I) acetate reacts with 9b leading to the bis(1,2,4-triazolium-5-ylidene)silver(I) complex (11b) in 80% yield. Under the same experimental conditions, but using two equivalents of silver(I) acetate, solid-state one-dimensional polymers 12′b,c featuring the coplanar 1,2,4-triazol-3,5-diylidene ligands coordinated to silver(I) are obtained in 90% yield. 12′c has been fully characterized including a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.
