A chemoselective hydroxymethylation: new route for the synthesis of 6-aroyl-4-(4H-triazol-3-yl)thiomorpholin-3-ones

Treatment of 2-(2-oxo-2-arylethylthio)-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)acetamides with paraformaldehyde in the presence of a base has led to a tandem chemoselective hydroxymethylation followed by cyclization yielding a set of novel 6-aroyl-4-(4H-triazol-3-yl)thiomorpholin-3-ones. The thiomorpholine ring has been found to have a boat like conformation in these compounds as evidenced by NOESY NMR spectrum.     

13C NMR spectra of some 1,2-disubstitutedN-vinyl-1H-1,2,4-triazoles

¹³C NMR spectra (20 and 75 MHz, in DMSO-d₆) of a series of 1,3-diaryl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)- and 1,3-diaryl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones were registered. It was shown that the chemical shifts of both the carbon atom of the alkene group and C(3) reflect regio- and stereoisomerism of these compounds. Taking this into account the isomeric structures of several 1,3-diaryl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones were identified and the configurations relative to the double bond of a number of 1,3-diaryl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones were determined.

Efficient Synthesis of Novel 3-[5-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-Ylmethanesulfonyl)-4-Phenyl-4H-(1,2,4)Triazol-3-Yl]-1H-(1,8)Naphthyridin-4-One Derivatives

Abstract

of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbohydrazide (4) with substituted phenyl isothiocyanates (5) in ethanol under reflux for 30 min gave thiosemicarbazide derivatives 6, which on cyclization in 2N NaOH under refluxing conditions for 1 h resulted in 3-(5-mercapto- 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (7). Alternatively, 7 could also be prepared from following sequence of reactions, i.e., 4 → 8 → 7. In another sequence of reactions, condensation of 7 with chloroacetic acid in dimethylformamide (DMF) and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h resulted in 2-((5-(1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridin-3-yl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl)acetic acid (10). The latter, on reaction with substituted o-phenylenediamine (11) in 6N HCl for 4 h yielded 3-(5-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylthio)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (12). Alternatively, 12 could also be prepared by reacting 7 with 13 in DMF and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h, followed by oxidation with H₂O₂ resulting in the corresponding sulfonyl derivatives 14.     

Spectroscopic study of interaction of 1H-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thione with molecular iodine

The formation by 1H-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thiones in dilute chloroform solution of n-σ*-complex with molecular iodine of the composition C₂H₂N₃S·I₂ was studied by electronic spectroscopy in the UV and visible regions (log β = 2.14±0.05). By the XRD method the crystal and molecular structure of the product of chemical interaction of the thione with molecular iodine in ethanol, 1,2-di(1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) disulfide, was determined.     

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.

The preparation of the deep-blue diamagnetic dinitrogen complexes (Cp₂TiR)₂N₂ with R=C₆H₅, o-, m-, p-CH₃C₆H₄, C₆F₅, CH₂C₆H₅ is described. Their chemical and physcial properties confirm the formulation in which the R groups are σ-bonded to the Cp₂Ti moiety, and the two nitrogen atoms are equivalent. The heats of formation of the complexes from Cp₂TiR and N₂ in toluene have been determined from spectrophotometric data; for R=C₆H₅, o-, m-, p-CH₃C₆H₄, C₆F₅, CH₂C₆H₅, the values are ?18, ?9, ?17, ?20, ?17 and ?14 kcal·mol^?1, respectively.

Triazole iminoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted further with excess acetone and benzaldehyde with a catalytic amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene to yield 5-(5-imino-2,2-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine and (E)-N-benzylidene-5-(5-imino-2-aryl-2,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-3-aryl-3H-1,2,3-triazol-4-amine, respectively. Two competitive reactions, i.e., nucleophilic substitution and nucleophilic addition, were observed when triazole oxoacetonitrile and maleonitrile derivatives were reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate.

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.
