Acyl and Sulfonyl Derivatives of 3,5-Diamino-1-R-1,2,4-triazoles

3-Acylamino-5-amino-1-R-1,2,4-triazoles are formed regioselectively on acylating 3,5-diamino-1-R-1,2,4-triazoles with an equimolar amount of anhydrides, carboxylic acid chlorides, and sulfonyl chlorides. With an excess of anhydride and carboxylic acid chloride 3,5-diacylamino-1-R-1,2,4-triazoles are formed. 3-Acylamino-5-amino-1-R-1,2,4-triazoles do not interact with sulfonyl chlorides. The higher reactivity of the 3-amino group towards acylating agents is determined by electronic and not steric factors. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1342–1350, September, 2005.

Reactions of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole derivatives with alkylating agents. 5. Selective synthesis of 1,4-dialkyl-and 1,4,5-trialkyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazolium salts from 1-alkyl-and 4,5-dialkyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles and dialkyl sulfates

Interaction of N₍₁₎-alkyl-substituted 3-nitro-5-R-1,2,4-triazoles with dialkyl sulphates proceeds selectively and results in the respective salts of 1,4-dialkyl-, 1,4,5-trialkyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoliums.

From imidates to vinyl-1,2,4-triazoles: Synthesis,mechanistic aspects and first issues of their reactivity

The reaction of variously substituted acylimidates with hydrazine derivatives represents an efficient and easy to set synthetic entry towards 5-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole derivatives. The construction of the triazole ring allows the installation of variety of substituent combination at the N(1), C(3) and C(5) positions of the five-membered heterocycle in good to high yields. The method reveals selective towards 5-vinyl-1,2,4-triazoles avoiding the potential formation of seven- and five-membered side-products as supported by theoretical calculations and NMR experiments. First lines of Pd-catalyzed arylation of the vinyl fragment towards 5-styryl-1,2,4-triazoles and Cu-catalyzed arylation at the N(1) site are finally described.     

Trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate (TMSNCS): an efficient reagent for the one-pot synthesis of mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles

A mild, convenient, and efficient one-pot synthesis of mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles is described. Various hydrazides efficiently reacted with trimethylsilyl isothiocyanate (TMSNCS) under basic condition to give mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles in high yields.     

Reactions of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles with alkylating agents. 6*. Alkylation of a neutral heterocycle by alcohols in acid media*

Reaction of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole and 5-methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole with secondary and tertiary alcohols in conc. H₂SO₄ takes place at the N(2) atom. Alkylation by 2-propanol occurs regioselectively to form the 1-isopropyl-3-nitro-and 1-isopropyl-3-methyl-5-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles. As a consequence of isomerization the alkylation using cyclohexyl or tert-butyl alcohols gives respectively a mixture of regioisomers substituted at atom N(1) (1-cyclohexyl-3-nitro-and 1-cyclohexyl-5-methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles) and at atom N(2) (5-nitro-1-cyclohexyl-and 1-cyclohexyl-3-methyl-5-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles) and, in the second case, to 1-tert-butyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole. * For Communication 5 see [1].

Study of silica gel and copper silicate gel solubilities in high performance liquid chromatography

Summary After summarizing published results on silica gel and alkyl-bonded silica gel solubilities, the experimental solubility of unmodified silica and copper silicate gel (used in ligand exchange chromatography) in watermethanol-ammonia and water-acetonitrile-ammonia mixtures are given. These results demonstrate that silica gel solubility, measured by a static method, varies greatly with the water volume fraction of a ternary mixture. Curiously, no influence from the organic nature of the solvent was demonstrated. This observation is inconsistent with the fact that the copper silicate gel used in ligand-exchange chromatography with water-methanol-ammonia as mobile phase is attacked more rapidly than with water-acetonitrile-ammonia.An explanation based upon the variations of acid-base properties of silicic acid versus mobile phase dielectric constant values in conjunction with the methanol protophilic properties is proposed. Finally, it is shown that chromatographic columns filled with copper silicate gel have lifetimes of several months, if they are used with a procolumn (of copper silicate gel) and with acetonitrile as organic solvent with a volume fraction greater than 0.5 in the mobile phase.     

Molecular modeling of the mechanisms of thermolysis of nitramino-1,2,4-triazoles

Modeling of the probable mechanisms of the thermolysis of C-and N-nitramino-1,2,4-triazoles has been carried out by methods of mathematical chemistry. It was established that the formation is possible of a more diverse spectrum of products in their destruction than was previously recorded by different experimental methods. Subsequent assessment of the thermochemical preference for pathways of decomposition of the compounds was carried out by the density functional method in the B3LYP/6-31G* approach. It was determined that the thermal destruction of C-and N-nitramino-substituted polynitrogen heterocycles, capable of tautomeric conversion, was most probably through the thermochemically least stable nitramine form. Thermal decomposition of the considered tautomers is preferred at the NNO₂ fragment and not at the triazole ring. The direction of the structural stabilization of the investigated compounds has been clarified by comparison of the geometric, electronic, and thermochemical characteristics of C-NNO₂-and N-NNO₂-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1467–1495, October, 2006.     

Synthesis and Tuberculostatic Activity of 1,3-Thiazacycloalkyl[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazoles

The 4-hydroxyalkyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones cyclization allowed us to work out the effective method of 1,3-thiazacycloalkyl[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazoles synthesis. Some of the compounds that were obtained were tested for their tuberculostatic activity.     

Reactions of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles with alkylating agents. 3. Alkylation of a neutral heterocycle by diethyl sulfate

The reaction of 3-nitro-5-R-1,2,4-triazoles with diethyl sulfate gives 1-ethyl-3-R-5-nitro-, 4-ethyl-3-nitro-5-R-1,2,4-triazoles, 1,4-diethyl-, 1,4-diethyl-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones, and 1,4-diethyl-3-nitro-5-R-1,2,4-triazolium salts. When compared with the use of dimethyl sulfate as alkylating agent the ethylation products have a markedly increased fraction of triazolones (up to 30–37%) and a somewhat lowered yield of nitrotriazolium salts (up to 6–10%). The reaction time is increased by an order. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1378–1381, September, 2006.     

Thermal decomposition mechanisms of nitro-1,2,4-triazoles: A theoretical study

Possible decomposition mechanisms of C-nitro-and N-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles were simulated. We showed that in addition to the experimentally detected thermolysis products including N₂, N₂O, NO, CO₂, HCN, HNCO, 1,2,4-triazole, 3(5)-nitroso-1,2,4-triazole, and 1,2,4-triazolone, some other decompositon products (H₂O, CO, NO₂, cyanamide, cyanuric acid, and melamine) can be formed. Using the density functional approach (B3LYP/6-31G* approximation), we assessed the most favorable thermal decomposition pathways of nitrotriazoles and studied the relationships between the thermolysis pathways of these substances and their molecular and electronic structures. We found a correlation between the energy gap width (energy difference between the frontier molecular orbitals) and the stabilities of the C-nitro-1,2,4-triazole tautomers to thermal decomposition.

Cobalt-extraction studies on dithiocarbamate grafted on silica gel surface

Extraction of cobalt(II) ion from aqueous solution was studied using silica gel grafted with dithiocarbamate ligand (Si–dtc), which was prepared by reacting silica gel with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane followed by alkaline carbon disulfide. ²⁹Si MAS NMR, IR spectra were taken to establish the grafting of dithiocarbamate ligand on silica gel. This modified surface contains 0.37 mmol g⁻¹ of the ligand sites available for the extraction of cobalt. The sorbent extracts cobalt only when the pH of the aqueous phase is above 7 and the extraction process does not follow ideal ion-exchange mechanism. The electronic absorption spectra of cobalt present in the sorbent phase suggested the oxidation of Co(II) to Co(III). Kinetic data were fitted to surface complexation model and the rate constant (k_s) for such model was found to vary from 1.5×10⁻³ to 5.82×10⁻³ l mg⁻¹ min⁻¹ depending on the initial concentration of cobalt. An estimate of enthalpy and entropy changes accompanying the extraction was obtained by temperature variation method. The increase in the overall entropy of the system seems to favour the extraction of cobalt by Si–dtc.
