Synthesis of 2-alkyl-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(2h)-ones and 2-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(2h)-ones

A preparative method for the synthesis of 2-alkyl-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(2H)-ones 3 was developed. The method involves treatment with sodium cyanate of 2-alkylbenzotetrazinium tetrafluoroborates, which exist in solutions in equilibrium with o-(alkylazo)aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates. Reduction of compounds 3 with zinc in acetic acid afforded 2-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(2H)-ones. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in the reaction of 1,2,4-triazin-4-oxides with cyanamide

It was shown that cyanamide can successfully be used in reactions of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen with 1,2,4-triazin-4-oxides in the presence of a base to give 5-cyanoimino-1,2,4-triazines. It was found by¹³C NMR spectroscopy that these compounds and their alkylation products at the cyclic nitrogen atom exist in the form of 5-cyanoimino-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines.

NMR studies of 4(3H)-quinazolinones and 4(3H)-quinazolinethiones

Summary Unambiguous¹H and¹³C NMR assignments for 4(3H)-quinazolinones1–6 and their corresponding 4-thiones7–12 have been made. This resulted in the revision of the previous assignments for the two benzenoid carbons (C-5 and C-8) of quinazolinones1,2,4, and5. Thionation of the nucleophilic amides1–6 has been found to cause a distinct change in the¹³C chemical shift of particularly C-4, but also of those of C-4a, C-5, and C-8a. One-bond and several long range heteronuclear coupling constants for the compounds have also been measured.

Kernresonanzspektroskopie von 4(3H)-Chinazolinonen und 4(3H)-Chinazolinthionen

Zusammenfassung Die¹H- und¹³C-NMR-Spektren der 4(3H)-Chinazolinone1–6 und ihrer entsprechenden 4-Thione7–12 wurden zugeordnet. Dabei zeigte sich, daß eine frühere Zuordnung der beiden benzoiden Kohlenstoffe (C-5 und C-8) der Chinazolinone1,2,4 und5 falsch war. Ersatz des Sauerstoffs durch Schwefel in den nukleophilen Amiden1–6 führt insbesondere für C-4, aber auch für C-4a, C-5 und C-8a zu einer deutlichen Änderung der chemischen Verschiebung. Heteronukleare Kopplungskonstanten über eine und über mehrere Bindungen wurden bestimmt.

     

The Reactions of 6-(tert-Butyl)-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one with Carbonyl Compounds

The reaction of 6-(tert-butyl)-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one with acetone and benzaldehyde yields the corresponding hydrazones. In the presence of thionyl chloride the benzaldehyde hydrazone is converted to 3-(tert-butyl)-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]-1,2,4-triazin-2(1H)-one and this can also be formed via the acylation of the starting hydrazinotriazinone using benzoyl chloride.     

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.     

Electron spin and electron nuclear double resonances of the stable 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-4-yl free radical

Chloromethyl-, dichloromethyl-, and trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines and their 4-oxides: method for the synthesis and tele-substitution reactions with C-nucleophiles

A simple procedure was developed for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazines and their 4-oxides containing the ClCH₂, Cl₂CH, or CCl₃ group at position 3 by cyclization of 2-aryl-2-hydrazono-1-oximinoethanes with the corresponding chloroacetonitriles. The reaction pathway depends on the number of halogen atoms in the acetonitrile used. The reactions with trichloroacetonitrile, monochloroacetonitrile, and dichloroacetonitrile afford 3-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines, 3-chloromethyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides, and a mixture of the corresponding dichloromethyltriazines and their 4-oxides, respectively. The reactions of 3-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines with indoles and phenols are accompanied by tele-substitution with elimination of halogen from the trichloromethyl group to give 5-indolyl- (or 5-hydroxyphenyl)-3-dichloromethyl-1,2,4-triazines.

Intramolecular interaction between ortho-azido and azoxy groups as a new way of forming a N—N bond. Synthesis of 2-alkylbenzotriazole 1-oxides

Heating of 2-(alkyl-NNO-azoxy)-1-azidobenzenes in boiling benzene gave 2-alkyl-benzotriazole 1-oxides (Alk = Me, Et, Prⁱ, and Bu^t). This first-order reaction involves an earlier unknown intramolecular interaction between the azido and azoxy groups with simultaneous release of molecular nitrogen. The cyclization rate increases in the following sequence of the alkyl groups: Me < Et < Prⁱ < Bu^t. Complete assignment of the signals in the ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectra of 2-alkylbenzotriazole 1-oxides was performed. Dedicated to Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences E. P. Serebryakov on the occasion of his 70th birthday. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 989–996, April, 2005.

Determination of the structure of 7-diethylamino-4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives using two-dimensional heteronuclear chemical-shift correlated NMR techniques

¹H and¹³C NMR spectra of 7-diethylamino-4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives have been studied. The location of the substituent in the 1,2,3-triazole ring was determined by the 2D COLOC method. It was established that the H(3) and H(5) protons in the coumarin moiety experience anisotropic influence of the phenyl subsituent at the C(5) atom in the triazole ring.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

An efficient synthesis of 3-benzylquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions

Abstract

An efficient and convenient method for the preparation of 3-benzylquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivatives under solvent-free and catalyst-free conditions by the reaction of isatoic anhydride, benzylamine, and aromatic aldehydes was reported. In reported papers, ammonia water, ammonium salt, and aromatic amine were often used to synthesize quinazolin-4(1H)-one derivative, but benzylamine was seldom used in this synthesis. This article offers a green method for the synthesis of 3-benzylquinazolin-4(1H)-one derivative used benzylamine as starting material. This methodology has the advantages of short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, and environmental friendliness.

Synthesis, stereochemical and conformational properties of trans-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-3-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one oxime ethers

A convenient synthesis and structural characterization of (Z)- and (E)-trans-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-3-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one oxime ethers has been achieved. By analysis of vicinal interproton coupling constants, it is believed that trans-2,3-dihydro-2-methyl-3-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones which exist predominantly in the diequatorial half-chair or sofa conformation was found to exist predominantly in the diaxial orientation upon conversion to the corresponding oxime ether derivatives.

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.     

Stereochemicai study of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)indolizinones by1H and13C NMR

Stereochemistry of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)-indolizinones was studied by¹H and¹³C NMR. Complete assignment of¹H NMR signals and analysis of¹H-¹H coupling constants were performed using the iterative PANIC program. Values of³ J _6,7,³ J _7,8endo, and⁴ J _5,7 allow one to unambiguously identify the correspondingexo- andendo-stereoisomers. For stereoisomers with exo-orientation of H(7), complete assignment of¹³C NMR signals was performed on the basis of analysis of the¹³C-¹H coupling constants using two dimensional heteronuclear shift-correlating spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
