2-(4-Pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 2-(4-pyridyl)-4-methyl-1,3,5-triazine, 2-(4-pyridyl)-4,6-dimethyl-1,3,5-triazine and 2-(4-pyridyl)pyrimidine have been prepared by modification of established triazine and pyrimidine syntheses. These compounds and some of their relatives have been converted to quaternary pyridinium salts. The polarographic reduction potentials of the salts in aqueous solution are pH dependent. The activity of the salts as post-emergent herbicides is reported.     

Synthesis,Characterization and DFT Study of a New Family of High-Energy Compounds Based on s-Triazine,Carborane and Tetrazoles

An efficient one-pot synthesis of carborane-containing high-energy compounds was developed via the exploration of carbon–halogen bond functionalization strategies in commercially available 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine. The synthetic pathway first included the substitution of two chlorine atoms in s-triazine with 5-R-tetrazoles (R = H, Me, Et) units to form disubstituted tetrazolyl 1,3,5-triazines followed by the sequential substitution of the remaining chlorine atom in 1,3,5-triazine with carborane N- or S-nucleophiles. All new compounds were characterized by IR- and NMR spectroscopy. The structure of four new compounds was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The density functional theory method (DFT B3LYP/6-311 + G*) was used to study the geometrical structures, enthalpies of formation (EOFs), energetic properties and highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO and LUMO) energies and the detonation properties of synthesized compounds. The DFT calculation revealed compounds processing the maximum value of the detonation velocity or the maximum value of the detonation pressure. Theoretical terahertz frequencies for potential high-energy density materials (HEDMs) were computed, which allow the opportunity for the remote detection of these compounds.     

Synthesis and antitumor activity of benzimidazolyl-1,3,5-triazine and benzimidazolylpyrimidine derivatives

Triamino-substituted 1,3,5-triazine and pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and tested for antitumor activities using some human cancer cell lines and murine leukemia cell lines. All the compounds having benzimidazolyl and morpholino groups as substituents on the 1,3,5-triazine ring showed antitumor activity. Pyrimidine derivatives having the same groups as substituents also showed antitumor activity. Among them, the compounds having 1-benzimidazolyl, morpholino and cis-2,3-dimethylmorpholino groups as substituents on the 1,3,5-triazine ring or pyrimidine ring exhibited the most potent antitumor activity, and these compounds exhibited no or very weak aromatase inhibitory activity. In contrast, the compounds having imidazolyl group instead of benzimidazolyl group as a substituent on the 1,3,5-triazine ring showed a potent aromatase inhibitory activity.     

Synthesis and structure of 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine and its <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-nitro derivatives

Methods were developed for the synthesis of 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)- 1,3,5-triazine and its N-nitro derivatives (6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)nitramino-1,3,5-triazine and 6-azido-2-(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-4-(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)nitramino-1,3,5-triazine) containing combinations of azido, trinitroethyl, and nitramine groups. These compounds are of interest as components of energetic composites. The molecular and crystal structures of 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine and 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl) nitramino-1,3,5-triazine were studied by X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy.     

2-nitroguanidine derivatives: X. Synthesis and nitration of 4-nitriminotetrahydro-1,3,5-oxadiazine and 2-nitriminohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine and their substituted derivatives

A new synthetic procedure was developed to obtain 1-hydroxymethyl-2-nitroguanidine from 2-nitroguanidine and formaldehyde without catalyst. Reactions of 2-nitroguanidine and its 1-methyl-and 1-phenylsubstituted derivatives with formaldehyde and urotropin under acid catalysis resulted in 4-nitriminotetrahydro-1,3,5-oxadiazine and 2-nitriminohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine and their methyl-and phenyl-substituted derivatives, whose nitration with concn. HNO₃ in the presence of acetic anhydride and concn. H₂SO₄ depending on the temperature conditions led to the formation of 4-nitrimino-3,5-dinitrotetrahydro-1,3,5-oxadiazine, 3-methyl-4-nitrimino-5-nitrotetrahydro-1,3,5-oxadiazine, 2-nitrimino-5-nitrohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine, and 1,3,5-trinitro-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine-2-one.     

Additivity of 13C-1H and 1H-1H spin-spin coupling constants in six-membered aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocycles

We have analyzed proton-coupled ¹³C NMR and PMR spectra of pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, 1,3,5-triazine, and 1,2,4-triazine for one-molar solutions of the compounds in DMSO-D₆. Comparison of the values obtained for the ¹³C-¹H and ¹H-¹H spin-spin coupling constants with the values calculated on the basis of the spin-spin coupling constants in pyridine and benzene has shown that it is possible to predict the constants using linear additive equations. Substantial nonlinear deviations (5–6 Hz) are observed for ¹J_CH when the carbon atom is located between two adjacent nitrogen atoms.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 986–990, July, 1985.     

Herbizide,VI [1] kernfluorierte 2,4-dianilino-6-(dihexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine

The nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atoms in 2,4-dichloro- 6-(dihexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine by aniline leads to 2,4-dianilino-6-(dihexylamino)- 1,3,5-triazine and by fluorinated amines to (dihexylamino)- 1,3,5-triazines bearing groupings as follows: (2-fluoroanilino)-, (3-fluoroanilino)-, (4-fluoroanilino)-, (2,4-difluoroanilino)-, (2,5-difluoroanilino)-, and (2,6-difluoroanilino)-. The new compounds are characterized by IR, ¹-NMR, and mass spectroscopy. 2,4-Bis-(2,4-difluoroanilino)- 6-(dihexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine in particular shows herbicidal and anti- diabetic activity.     

A general approach toward the synthesis of C-nucleoside pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazines and their 3',5'-bisphosphate C-nucleotide analogues as the first reported in vivo stable P2Y(1)-receptor antagonists

In our effort to identify potent purinergic P2Y(1) receptor antagonists as potent platelet aggregation inhibitors with enhanced metabolic stability, we developed an efficient route for the large-scale preparation of 2'-deoxy-C-nucleosides of pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine. The key strategic elements of this novel synthetic approach involved the following: (i) the use of a novel activating group, the N-methyl-N-phenylamino group, which was easily generated in high yield by treatment of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazin-4-one (5) with phosphorus oxychloride and dimethylaniline under high pressure, (ii) a regio- and stereospecific palladium-mediated coupling reaction of the readily available unprotected glycal 1,4-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-erythro-pent-1-enitol (4b) and the 8-iodo derivative (16), and (iii) the stereoselective reduction of the ketone group of the furanosyl ring followed by the subsequent displacement of the N-methyl-N-phenylamino group upon treatment with methylamine. The beta configuration at the anomeric C-1' position of the glycal moieties was perfectly retained throughout this conversion. This procedure afforded 8-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-2-methyl-4-(N-methylamino)pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (21) and 8-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-xylofuranosyl)-2-methyl-4-(N-methylamino)pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine (24) with an overall yield of 50% and 39%, respectively. Finally, the conversion of nucleosides 21 and 24 to the pyrazolotriazine C-nucleotides 3',5'-bisphosphate 2 and 3',5'-cyclophosphate 26 is also described herein and represents the first reported nucleotide derivatives within the pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine series. Preliminary biological testing has shown that compound 2 strongly inhibits ADP-induced human platelet aggregation and shape change and possesses significant efficacies 30 min after injection in rat, highlighting a strong P2Y(1)-receptor antagonist activity in vitro combined with a prolonged duration of action in vivo.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Biological Evaluation of Magnolol and Honokiol Derivatives with 1,3,5-Triazine of Metformin Cyclization

Herein, we sought to evaluate the contribution of the 1,3,5-triazine ring through the metformin cyclization unit to the biological activity of magnolol and honokiol-conjugates. One of the phenolic OH groups of magnolol or honokiol was replaced by a 1,3,5-triazine ring to further explore their synthesis and medicinal versatility. In this study, a robust procedure of three steps was adopted for the synthesis of magnolol and honokiol derivatives by alkylation of potassium carbonate with a 1,3,5-triazine ring. To our knowledge, this is the first report to connect one of the phenolic OH positions of magnolol or honokiol to a 1,3,5-triazine ring cyclized by metformin. The structural characterization of three new compounds was carried out via spectroscopic techniques, i.e., ¹³C NMR, ¹H NMR, and HRMS. Surprisingly, these compounds showed no cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 macrophages but significantly inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 (human breast cancer cells), HepG2 (human hepatoma cells), A549 (human lung carcinoma cells), and BxPC-3 (human pancreatic carcinoma cells) tumor cell lines. Furthermore, the compounds also significantly inhibited the release of inflammatory cytokines, including nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated mouse cells (RAW 264.7). Among them, compound 2 demonstrated promising broad-spectrum antiproliferative potential with half inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) values ranging from 5.57 to 8.74 µM and it significantly decreased caspase-3 and Bcl-2 expression in HepG2 cells. These interesting findings show that derivatization of magnolol and honokiol with 1,3,5-triazine affects and modulates their biological properties.     

Electrochemical reduction of substituted pyrimidines in acetonitrile

Polarographic studies of several substituted pyrimidines were reinforced by the results from cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential electrolysis, and spectrophotometric examination of electrolyzed solutions, as well as by the examination of model compounds. Pyrimidines substituted with non-reducible groups (amino, methyl) are reduced in a single, one-electron (1e), diffusion-controlled process, very similar to that for pyrimidine itself. Pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid exhibits three reduction waves: a very drawn-out acid-reduction wave with unusual properties and at more negative potential, an adsorption prewave and a wave corresponding to the 1e reduction of the pyrimidine moiety, 2-Chloro-and 2-bromopyrimidine each exhibit two polarographic waves; the first, corresponding to irreversible scission of the carbon-halogen bond, has electrochemical properties quite different from those normally expected; the second is due to reduction of the electro-generated pyrimidine. Results are compared with those for the reduction of bromobutane, bromobenene, and 2-bromopyridine.     

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.     

含嘧啶氨基的三氨基取代三嗪衍生物的设计、合成及抗苹果树腐烂病菌活性

依据三嗪和嘧啶衍生物的抗菌特性以及生物活性叠加原理, 以三聚氯氰为起始原料, 设计、合成了系列新的含嘧啶氨基的2,4,6-三氨基取代-1,3,5-三嗪化合物. 化合物的结构经1H NMR, ESI-MS和元素分析等表征. 化合物的抗苹果树腐烂病菌活性测试结果表明, 大部分化合物对苹果树腐烂病菌具有显著的抑制作用, 如化合物2aa, 2ba, 2ca, 2da, 3ba和3ea在200 μg/mL浓度下的抑制率分别为96.33%, 98.17%, 97.25%, 97.71%, 98.39%和94.50%, 在100 μg/mL浓度下的抑制率也均在74%以上.     

Chemical Graft of Cellulose with the Ion-Pair Emulsion Containing the Reactive Groups and Its Dyeing Properties

Chemical graft of cellulose with ion-pair disperse emulsion containing the reactive groups was investigated. The ion-pair disperse systems were consisted of a 1,3,5-triazine derivative containing the reactive groups, 2,4,6-tri[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethyl-ammonium)propyl]-1,3,5-triazine chloride (Tri-HTAC) and 2,4,-bichloro[(6-sulfanilic acid)-1,3,5-triazine (Bi-CSAT). Compared with unmodified cellulose, the modified cotton exhibited different behavior towards dyeing. The modified cotton could be dyed with reactive dyes without the addition of salt. The color yield was higher than that on untreated cotton, despite of the addition of large amounts of salt in the latter case. Cotton fabric modified with ion-pair disperse emulsion was imparted good level dyeing properties. The dyeing rate was slower in the presence of the ion-pair compounds than that in the present of the only cationic compounds.     

Oil-in-water emulsions as suitable working media for the direct polarographic determination of aziprotryne and desmetryne from its organic extracts in water samples

The electroanalytical behavior of the reduction of the herbicides aziprotryne (2-azido-4-isopropylamino-6-methylthio-1,3,5-triazine) and desmetryne (4-isopropylamino-6-methylamino-2-methylthio-1,3,5-triazine) in oil-in-water emulsions is reported. This medium allows the differential pulse polarographic determination of these s-triazines directly from their sample extracts in an appropriate organic solvent. Sodium pentanesulfonate was chosen as the most suitable surfactant to be used as emulsifying agent, whereas ethyl acetate was selected as the organic solvent to form the emulsions. The peak current was maximum in a 0.3 mol L(-1) HClO4 medium of the continuous aqueous phase for aziprotryne, and at pH 3.0 for desmetryne, and the potential became more negative as the pH increased for both herbicides. The limiting current is diffusion controlled and the electrode process is irreversible. Four electrons are involved in the overall electrochemical reduction process as determined by controlled potential coulometry, whereas the alpha n(a) values suggested that two electrons are involved in the rate-determining step. Using differential pulse polarography, aziprotryne and desmetryne can be determined in the emulsified medium over the concentration ranges 1.0 x 10(-7)-1.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1), with limits of detection of 4.5 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) and 6.6 x 10(-8) mol L(-1), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of aziprotryne and desmetryne in spiked irrigation water. At concentration levels of 6.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) aziprotryne and 4.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) desmetryne, recoveries of 94 +/- 3% and 94 +/- 4%, respectively, were obtained after preconcentration on Sep-Pack C18 cartridges. Finally, partial least-squares regression (PLSR) has been used for treatment of the polarographic data obtained from mixtures of aziprotryne, desmetryne and simazine in oil-in-water emulsions. The size of the calibration set was of 29 samples by ninety two current measurements at different potentials. Prediction of the herbicides concentration within the range 1.0 x 10(-6)-1.0 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) was possible.     

Synthesis and central nervous system stimulant activity of 5,8-methanoquinazolines fused with imidazole,thiadiazole, pyrimidine and 1,3,5-triazine

5,8-Methanoquinazolines fused with imidazoles 4a-4b , thiadiazoles 5–6 , pyrimidines 7, 9, 11 and 12 , and 1,3,5-triazine 13 were prepared starting from (5R,8S)-2-amino-8,9,9-trimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,8-methanoquinazoline 3 . Most compounds possessed central nervous system stimulant activities.     

Synthesis and structure of new 1,3,5-triazine-pyrazole derivatives

We have studied the reaction of methylenedicarbonyl compounds with 4,6-disubstituted 2-hydrazinyl-1,3,5-triazine in order to obtain novel coupled biheterocyclic aromatic systems with potential bioactivity. Reaction conditions were studied and optimized, and a series of 4,6-disubstituted 2-(1H-pyrazolyl)-1,3,5-triazines were obtained with good yield.     

Identification of novel thiourea-stilbene-triazine conjugates as persuasive lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors

A library of novel thiourea-based symmetrical stilbene-triazines ( 5a-i ) was synthesized in an effort to develop new protein tyrosine phosphatase LYP inhibitors. The versatile nature of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine allows considerable scope for derivatization and hence exploration of structure activity relationships. A convenient and versatile three-step synthetic approach involved the successive replacement of the two chloro groups of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine by a variety of substituents for structural modification. The newly synthesized derivatives were subjected to tyrosine phosphatase LYP inhibition studies. The results for the in vitro bioassays were promising with the identification of compound 5k and 5l having a 4-methyl and 4-methoxy substituent on phenyl ring, as the lead and selective candidate for LYP inhibition with an IC₅₀ value of 2.1 ± 0.05 μM and 28 ± 3.3 μM, respectively. Moreover, docking studies were carried out to determine the possible interaction sites of thiourea-based stilbene-triazine compounds with Lymphoid Tyrosine Phosphatase. Results of docking computations further ascertained the inhibitory potential of compound 5k and 5l . The results indicated that the compound 5k may serve as a structural model for the design of most potent LYP inhibitors.     

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).     

The Oxidation of Hexahydrotriazines

Summary. N-Alkyl-2,4-dioxohexahydro-1,3,5-triazines oxidize readily with oxygen to the corresponding cyanuric acid derivates. The oxidation of 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4-dioxohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine resulted in a stable form of hydroperoxide. During the oxidation of 1,3,5-trimethyl- 6-phenyl-2,4-dioxohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine this hydroperoxide could not be identified, however, the result was the stable reaction product bis-[6-phenyl-1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4-dioxohexahydro-1,3,5-triazin]peroxide.     

Polarographic behavior of flavanoids from propolis and their potential carcinogenity

The electrochemical reduction of 12 flavanoids isolated from propolis and synthetic 7,8-benzoflavone was investigated in anhydrous dimethylformamide (DMF) in the absence or presence of the growth factor α-lipoic acid. In anhydrous conditions α-lipoic acid influences the polarographic reduction of compounds with carcinogenic activity. The same effect is not observed with non-carcinogens. In the presence of α-lipoic acid in the polarographed solution of carcinogen, a new polarographic wave is observed. This wave increases linearly with increasing concentration of α-lipoic acid. This increase was used to evaluate the potential carcinogenity of the compounds examined by polarography. The index of potential carcinogenity tan α was estimated for all flavanoids investigated. The relationship between chemical structure and potential carcinogeneity was analyzed. Values of tan α indicating possible mutagenic or carcinogenic properties were found only for quercetin, rhamnetin and kempferol.
