Synthesis,purification and spectroscopic characterization of potential impurities of hexamethylmelamine

The syntheses and spectroscopic properties (ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr, uv and ms) of pure samples of 2-chloro-4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-s-triazine 1 , 4,6-dichloro-2-dimethylamino-s-triazine 2 , 4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-s-triazin-2(lH)-one 3 , 4-chloro-6-dimethylamino-s-triazin-2(1H)-one 4 , 6-dimethylamino-s-triazine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 5 , and 2,4,6-tris(dimethylamino)-s-triazine (altretamine, HMM) are reported. Evidence for enol-keto equilibria are also presented for 3 , in which the enol form exhibits as an H-bonded dimer structure similar to the dimer of organic carboxylic acids.     

Derivatives Of ditraizinylamine and tritriazinylamine

2-Arylamino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine reacts with cyanuric chloride in the presence of alkali to yield N,N-bis(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)-arylamine. In like manner, 2-substituted o-chloro-, p-chloro-, o-nitro- and p-carbomethoxyphenylamino-4,6-dimethoxy-s-triazines react with cyanuric chloride to yield the corresponding 4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl-4′,6′-dimethoxy-s-triazin-2′-ylaryl-amine, while anilino-, p-toluidino, o- and p-methoxyphenylamino and o-carbomethoxyphenylamino derivatives did not. The reaction of cyanuric chloride with 2,4-dichloro-6-ethylamino-s-triazine in the presence of alkali yields the condensation product of the ditriazinylamine type and the reaction of cyanuric chloride with ammonia yields N,N-bis(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)- or tris(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-yl)amine.     

Synthesis of certain 6-alkylthio-2,2′-anhydro-5-azauridines

β-D-Arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]oxazolo-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione ( 7b ) and its t-butyldimethylsilyl protected counterpart 7a were synthesized by treating the appropriate 2-amino-β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:4,5]-2-oxazoline with ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate. These 2,2′-anhydro-s-triazine nucleosides were then subjected to alkylation under similar reaction conditions. Alkylation of 3′,5′-bis(O-t-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-D-arabinofurano[1′,2′:-4,5]oxazolo-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione ( 7a ) provided the targeted S-alkylated nucleosides, i.e., the C6-SCH₃ ( 9a ), C6-SCH₂-CH = CH₂ ( 10a ), and C6-S-CH₂-C = CH ( 11a ), in reasonable yields. Attempted deprotection of these nucleosides failed. In order to circumvent this problem, 7b was alkylated with the same reagents. In each case, instead of the expected S-alkylated anhydronucleosides, a mixture of the 5-N-alkylanhydro-s-triazine-4,6-dione and 5-N-alkylanhydro-s-triazin-4-one-6-thione derivatives were obtained. The 2,2′-anhydro linkage of 7a was also found to be more stable than the s-triazine ring to mild base. Basic conditions displaced the C6-sulfur substituent and eventually caused ring opening of the s-triazine aglycone.     

Malonic ester derivatives of s-Triazine

Reaction of cyanuric chloride with solutions of sodium diethyl malonate led to three products, 2,4,6-tris(dicarbethoxymethylene)hexahydro-s-triazine, 2,4-bis(dicarbethoxymethylene)-6-oxohexahydro-s-triazine, and 2-dicarbethoxymethylene-4,6-dioxohexahydro-s-triazine. The preferred structures (IV,V,VI) are stabilized by chelated N-H-O protons in six membered rings. The assignment of structures was made on the basis of ir, nmr, uv and mass spectral data.     

Synthesis of a 2-Methyl-4-sulfanilamido-s-triazine derivative

An attempt to obtain 2-methyl-4-sulfanilamido-s-triazine (XXI) by condensation of 2-amino-4-methyl-s-triazine (II) with p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride (III) in pyridine and in benzene containing trimethylamine gave instead the unexpected products, guanidine N-acetylsulfanilate (IV) (after hydrolysis) and N¹,N¹-dimethylsulfanilamide (V), respectively. On the other hand, 2-methyl-4-methylthio-6-sulfanilamido-s-triazine (XIX) was obtained from 4,6-dimethylthio-s-triazine (XVII), but the reduction of XIX with Raney nickel in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution also gave an unexpected compound, sulfaguanidine (XX).     

Manganese(III)-mediated intermolecular cyclization reactions of alkenes and active methylene compounds

The reactions of 1,1-diphenylethene, 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethene, 1,1-bis(4-methylphenyl)ethene, and 1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethene with 3,5-diacetyl-2,6-heptanedione in the presence of manganese(III) acetate in acetic acid at 80° yielded 4,6-diacetyl-8,8-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,9-dioxabicyclo[4.3.0]non-3-enes (41-48%), 5-acetyl-2,2-diaryl-6-methyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]furans (20–21%), 3-acetyl-5,5-diaryl-2-methyl-4,5-dihydrofurans (5–10%), and benzophenones (3–7%). Similarly, the reactions of 1,1-diarylethenes with dimethyl 2,4-diacetyl-1,5-pentanedioate or diethyl 2,4-diacetyl-1,5-pentanedioate gave the corresponding 4,6-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-8,8-diaryl-1,3-dimethyl-2,9-dioxabicyclo[4.3.0]non-3-enes in moderate yields.     

Synthesis of substituted 2-amino-4,6-bis(nonafluoro-tert-butyl)-1,3,5-triazines

A procedure was developed for the synthesis of substituted 2-amino-4,6-bis(nonafluoro-tert-butyl)-1,3,5-triazines from 2-chloro-4,6-bis(nonafluoro-tert-butyl)-1,3,5-triazine and aliphatic and aromatic amines. The data of¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy are indicative of the presence of a barrier to internal rotation. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Fused s-triazino heterocycles. XVIII. 1,3,4,7,11c-Pentaazabenz[de]anthracene and 1,3,4,6,7,11c-hexaazabenz[de]anthracene. Two new ring systems

The reaction of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine ( 3a ) with trimethylacetyl chloride gave 4-chloro-6-methyl-2-trimethylacetamidopyrimidine ( 5 ). This latter compound with excess anthranilonitrile gave in one step 2-t-butyl-5-methyl-1,3,4,7,11c-pentaazabenz[de]anthracene ( 6a ). To prepare 2-t-butyl-5-dimethylamino-1,3,4,6,7,11c-hexaazabenz[de]anthracene ( 6b ) it was found necessary to first react 2-amino-4-chloro-6-dimethylamino -5 -triazine ( 3b ) with anthranilonitrile to yield the intermediate product 2-amino-4(2-cyanoanilino)-6-dimethylamino-s-triazine ( 4 ). Reaction of the latter with trimethylacetyl chloride gave 6b .     

The chemistry of 4-hydrazino-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a] -1,3,5-triazines

The reaction of 4-hydrazino-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 4 ) with nitrous acid gave 8-phenyltetrazolo[1,5-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 5b ), which was determined by pmr and ir spectra to be in equilibrium with 4-azido-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 5a ). The equilibrium between the tetrazolo ( 5b ) and azido ( 5a ) forms was studied by pmr and an attempt was made to determine if substituents in the pyrazole nucleus could sufficiently stabilize the tricyclic tetrazolo form ( 5b ) over the bicyclic azido form ( 5a ). Thermal degradation of 5 (a ? b) in an aprotic solvent gave 4-amino-7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 7 ), indicating the probability of a nitrene mechanism involved in the decomposition. Heating 5 in aqueous base gave both 7 and the “hydroxy” analog, 7-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-4(3H)one ( 6 ), further substantiating the existence of a nitrene intermediate with a competing nucleophilic displacement of the azido group by a hydroxyl group. Cyclization of 4 with diethoxymethylacetate (DEMA) gave 8-phenyl-s-triazolo[4,3-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 8 ), which underwent thermal rearrangement to 8-phenyl-s-triazolo[2,3-e]pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 9 ). Acid catalyzed ring opening of 9 with formic acid gave 3-N-formamido-5-phenyl-2(2-s-triazolyl)pyrazole ( 10 ). The failure of 10 to recyclize to 9 with the resultant loss of water, supported the theory that the rearrangement of 8 to 9 might occur simply as a concerted, thermally induced “anhydrous” rearrangement rather than via a covalently hydrated intermediate or a Dimroth type mechanism (in the base catalyzed rearrangement).     

Large second-order optical nonlinearities of <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>-triazine derivatives: View from micro molecules to macro crystals

Three s-triazine derivatives have been synthesized and their structures been determined. These are Compound I: 2,4-dimethyl-6-(p-N,N-dimethylaminostyryl)-s-triazine (abbreviated to NMe-1), Compound II: 2,4-dimethyl-6-(p-N,N-diethylaminostyryl)-s-triazine (to NEt-1), and Compound III: 2-methyl-4,6-bis(p-N,N-dimethylaminostyryl)-s-triazine (NMe-2). NMe-1 and NEt-1 molecules belong to the D-π -A type with a one-dimensional charge-transfer character. NMe-1 crystallizes to centrosymmetric space group, while NEt-1 to non-centrosymmetric polar Cc space group with all of the molecular charge-transfer axes taking the same orientation. Under the irradiation of 1064 nm fundamental laser, NEt-1 powder crystals radiate a 2-order harmonic light with an intensity 46.8 times that of urea. The ∧ A typed NMe-2 molecule, which has a two-dimensional charge-transfer character, crystallizes to polar P2₁ space group. Its powder crystals exhibit a 2-order harmonic intensity 46.2 times that of urea. The quantum chemical calculations and tensor analyses have been carried out to reveal the dependence of the macro 2-order nonlinear optical (NLO) efficiency on the micro 2-order NLO coefficients (β) and on the crystalline packing styles.     

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2,4,6-tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine. 2. interaction of 2,4,6-tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine with primary amines and hexamethyldisilazane

2-R-amino-4,6-bis (trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazines have been synthesized, and their structures have been established. Dynamic¹³C NMR spectroscopy has been used to measure the rotational barriers of the tertbutylamino group around the C₍₂₎-NHBu-t bond in 2-(tert-butylamino)-4,6-dichloro-1, 3, 5-triazine and 2-(tertbutylamino)-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the structure of 2-(tertbutylamino)-4,6-bis (trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine. From the results obtained in this work it has been concluded that the bond between the NHBu-t group and the triazine ring has a partial double-bond character.N. D.

Preparation of visible-light-excited luminescence enhancement solutions for time-resolved luminescence detection of europium biolabel

Dissociation enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay (DELFIA) technique based on EDTA-Eu(3+) derivative biolabels is the most widely used time-resolved luminescence bioassay technique for clinical diagnosis, but its major drawback is that the conventional luminescence enhancement solution of EDTA-Eu(3+) requires UV excitation (<360 nm). In this work, three new visible-light-excited luminescence enhancement solutions are developed and their luminescence response behaviors to EDTA-Eu(3+) are systematically investigated. The new solutions were prepared by co-dissolving a newly synthesized tetradentate β-diketone, 1,2-bis[8'-(1',1',1',2',2',3',3'-heptafluoro-4',6'-hexanedion-6'-yl)-naphth-2'-yl]-benzene (BHHNB), and one of three derivatives of triazine, 2-(N,N-diethylanilin-4-yl)-4,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (DPBT), 2-(N,N-diethylanilin-4-yl)-4,6-bis(3-methylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (MPBT) or 2-(N,N-diethylanilin-4-yl)-4,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (BPT), in a weakly acidic aqueous buffer at pH 3.2 containing 0.1% Triton X-100. These solutions showed sensitive and rapid luminescence responses to non-luminescent EDTA-Eu(3+) by the formation of the ternary Eu(3+) complexes, BHHNB-Eu(3+)-DPBT, BHHNB-Eu(3+)-MPBT and BHHNB-Eu(3+)-BPT. These complexes have long luminescence lifetimes (>500 μs) and a wide excitation wavelength range from UV to visible light with the excitation peaks at 390, 400 and 420 nm, respectively, which enabled the solutions to be used as visible-light-excited luminescence enhancement solutions for the highly sensitive time-resolved luminescence detection of EDTA-Eu(3+).     

Exceptionally Persistent Nitrogen-Centered Free Radicals. Syntheses, ESR Spectra, Isolation, and X-ray Crystallographic Structures of N-(Arylthio)-2-tert-butyl-4,6-diarylphenylaminyl and N-(Arylthio)-4-tert-butyl-2,6-diarylphenylaminyl Radicals(1)

The preparation, ESR spectra, isolation, and X-ray crystallographic structure of N-(arylthio)-2-tert-butyl-4,6-diarylphenylaminyls (1) and N-(arylthio)-4-tert-butyl-2,6-diarylphenylaminyls (2) are described. The aminyls are generated by PbO(2) oxidation of N-(arylthio)-2-tert-butyl-4,6-diarylanilines and N-(arylthio)-4-tert-butyl-2,6-diarylanilines. The kinetic ESR study shows that the aminyls are quite persistent, even in the presence of oxygen, and exist in the individual radical forms. Among the seventeen aminyls prepared, N-[(4-nitrophenyl)thio]-2-tert-butyl-4,6-diphenylphenylaminyl (1b), N-[(4-nitrophenyl)thio]-2-tert-butyl-4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)phenylaminyl (1f), N-[(4-nitrophenyl)thio]-4-tert-butyl-2,6-diphenylphenylaminyl (2b), N-[(4-nitrophenyl)thio]-4-tert-butyl-2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)phenylaminyl (2h), and N-[(3,5-dichlorophenyl)thio]-4-tert-butyl-2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)phenylaminyl (2j) are isolated as radical crystals. The crystallographic structures of 1b and 2b are determined by the X-ray crystallographic analyses. Aminyls 1 and 2 give similar ESR spectra consisting of 1:1:1 triplets with the a(N) values of 0.921-0.948 mT. Deuteration of the phenyl groups on the anilino benzene ring gives rise to a further splitting of the nitrogen 1:1:1 triplet by the anilino meta (0.126-0.138) and phenylthiyl ortho and para protons (0.077-0.096 mT). Upon recording at high gain, one of the partly deuterated aminyls gives satellite lines due to (33)S isotopes at natural abundance from which a(33)(S) is determined to be 0.51 mT. The ESR parameters for 1 and 2 are compared with those for structurally close N-(arylthio)-2,4,6-triarylphenylaminyl and N-(arylthio)-2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenylaminyl.     

Synthesis of 2,5-diethyl-3,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)furan and its derivatives

The addition reaction of propionaldehyde to hexafluoro-2-butyne ( 1 ) under γ-ray irradiation gave trans-6,6,6-trifluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-4-hexen-3-one ( 2 ) and 4,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)octa-3,6-dione ( 3 ). The latter compound was treated with sulfuric acid to give 2,5-diethyl-3,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)furan ( 4a ). Several reactions, such as bromination, dehydrobromination and oxidation, were carried out to prepare derivatives of 4a .     

Dipolar additions with 1-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)- and 1-(4,6-dimethoxy-s-triazin-2-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium betaines

Cycloaddition to 1-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)- and 1-(4,6-dimethoxy-s-triazin-2-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium betaines across the 2,6-positions of the pyridine rings with indene, acenaphthylene and ethyl cinnamate gave substituted 8-aza[3.2.1]bicycIooct-3-en-2-ones, whereas the [6π + 4π] cycloaddition reaction with 6,6-dimethylfulvene gave a tricyclo[6.3.1.0^2.6]dodeca-2,(6),4,9-trien-11-one. Structural and configurational assignments of the cycloadducts were deduced from ¹H nmr and ir spectral data.     

Nucleosides CV. Synthesis of the 8-((β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine isosteres of adenosine and inosine

Reaction of ethyl N-cyanoformimidate ( 3 ) and of ethyl N-carbelhoxyformimidate ( 5 ) with 3-aminopyrazole ( 2 ) gave 4-amino- and 4-oxo-3H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 4 and 7 ), respectively. Reaction of 3-amino-4-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-trityl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole ( 8 ) with the same reagents similarly gave the blocked 4-amino-8-ribosyl- and 4-oxo-3H-8-ribosyl-pyrazolo[ 1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine ( 9 and 15 ), respectively. Deblocking in acid finally afforded the unblocked products 10 (an isostere of adenosine and formycin) and 16 (an isostere of inosine and formycin B). The corresponding derivatives in the a series were made by identical procedures for confirming all structural assignments. Preliminary in vitro testing results of 10 are included.     

Nitrene-carbene rearrangement during photolysis of 2-azido-1,3,5-triazines in argon matrices

It was shown using IR spectroscopy and ESR spectroscopy that UV irradiation of 2-azido-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine isolated in solid argon resulted in triplet 4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-tri-azinyl-2-nitrene (D = 1.384 cm^?1, E = 0.004 cm^?1), whose further photochemical transformation included the consecutive formation of 3-didehydro-1,2,4,6-tetraazepine, 2-chloro-1-diazochloromethyl-2-isocyanocarboimide, and presumably triplet 2-chloro-1-chloromethyl-idene-2-isocyanocarboimide and isocyanodichloroacetonitrile. The photolysis of 2-azido-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine and 2-azido-4,6-di(dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine affords photo-chemically stable triplet 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazinyl-2-nitrene (D = 1.436 cm^?1, E = 0.0044 cm^?1) and 4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazinyl-2-nitrene (D = 1.468 cm^?1, E = 0.0042 cm^?1) as the final products.     

1-Arylethylamino-substituted s-triazine derivatives as chiral solvating agents for the determination of the enantiomeric composition of chiral compounds

The development of 2-[(R)-1-(9-anthryl)ethylamino]-4-chloro-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine, 2-[(R)-1-(9-anthryl)ethylamino]-4-chloro-6-[(R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamino]-1,3,5-triazine and 2-[(R)-1-(9-anthryl)ethylamino]-4,6-bis-[(R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamino]-1,3,5-triazine as chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for the determination of the enantiomeric composition of derivatized and underivatized chiral compounds is presented. The comparison between the efficiency of these chiral auxiliaries with the corresponding 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamino substituted s-triazine derivatives is also discussed.     

Synthesis and properties of polyurethanes containing s-triazine rings in the main chain

Eight new diisocyanate monomers containing s-triazine ring have been prepared from the parent diacids via the Curtius rearrangement of the corresponding diacyl azides. The parent diacids were synthesised by the reaction of p- and m-hydroxybenzoic acid with 6-methoxy-2,4-dichloro-s-triazine, 6-phenoxy-2,4-dichloro-s-triazine, 6-phenyl-2,4-dichloro-s-triazine, and 2-diphenylamino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine respectively. Polyurethanes have been synthesised by solution polymerization of these diisocyanates with ethylene glycol in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC). The resulting polymers were characterized by IR spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, solubility tests, and softening points.     

Irreversible enzyme inhibitors. CXI. Candidate active-site-directed irreversible inhibitors of dihydrofolic reductase derived from 4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydro-l-phenyl-s-triazines. V.

Condensation of 5-(p-nitrophenyl)-2-pentanone with phenylbiguanide hydrochloride (V) gave a 2-methyl-2-(p-nitrophenylpropyl)-1,2-dihydro-s-triazine (IX); hydrogenation of the nitro group to amino followed by bromoacetylation afforded the candidate irreversible inhibitor of dihydrofolic reductase, namely, 2-(p-bromoacetamidophenylpropyl)-4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-s-triazine hydrochloride (VIII). Similarly, the o, m, and p-isomers of 5-nitrophenoxy-2-pentanone were converted to the corresponding 2-(bromoacetamidophenoxypropyl)-1,2-dihydro-s-triazines (XI). The four candidate irreversible inhibitors were evaluated on the dihydrofolic reductases from pigeon liver, Walker-256 rat tumor, and L-1210/FR8 mouse leukemia. Only VIII was an irreversible inhibitor; VIII slowly inactivated the L-121-/FR8 mouse leukemia enzyme with a half-life of 2–3 hours at 37°, but VIII showed no inactivation of the other two dihydrofolic reductases—a species specific inactivation.
