Reactions of magnesium 3‐tert‐butyl‐8‐R‐4‐oxo‐4H‐pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazin‐1‐ides (R = CN, CO₂Et) with AlkMgBr led to nucleophilic additions to either side chain or triazine core, with selectivity being dependent on the nature of substituents, as well as on the solvents used. Previously inaccessible C⁸‐functionalized and C⁴‐functionalized pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines and 3‐tert‐butyl‐3‐ethyl‐4‐oxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine were synthesized, and their reactivity and spectral data discussed.     

Synthesis of a New Imidazo[4′,5′:3,4]pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine‐4,8‐dione Heterocyclic System

A novel imidazo[4′,5′:3,4]pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine‐4,8‐dione heterocyclic system was synthesized starting from available 4‐amino‐6‐tert‐butyl‐3‐methylthio‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(4H)‐one in four steps with 28% overall yield.

Synthesis and X-ray single crystal structure of first aromatic ortho-di-tert-butyl azolo[1,2,4]triazine

Oxidation of 3,4-di-tert-butyl-8-methyl-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine with NBS/K₂CO₃ furnished 3,4-di-tert-butyl-8-methylpyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine, a mildly strained heteroaromatic compound. X-Ray single crystal diffraction analysis indicated that the conjugated 1,2,4-triazine ring adopts a twist-boat configuration, while the two t-Bu substituents are located on the opposite sides of the azole plane. The related 3-tert-butyl-4-(o-C-carboranyl)-8-methyl-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine was also synthesized, however, its oxidative aromatization was unsuccessful.

An Energetic Triazolo‐1,2,4‐Triazine and its N‐Oxide

The reaction of 3‐amino‐5‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazole with nitrous acid produces the corresponding diazonium salt. When the diazonium salt is treated with nitroacetonitrile, a subsequent condensation and cyclization reaction occurres to produced 4‐amino‐3,7‐dinitrotriazolo‐[5,1‐c][1,2,4] triazine (DPX‐26). X‐ray crystallographic analysis shows that the DPX‐26 has a density of 1.86 g cm^?3, while it is calculated to have a heat of formation of 398.3 kJ mol^?1. DPX‐26 is predicted to approach the explosive performance of RDX but displays significantly better safety properties. Oxidation of DPX‐26 using hypofluorous acid produces 4‐amino‐3,7‐dinitrotriazolo‐[5,1‐c][1,2,4] triazine 4‐oxide (DPX‐27), which is also predicted to be a high‐performance material with enhanced safety properties.     

Synthesis of new halo-substituted pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines

Ethyl 3-tert-butyl-4-oxo-7-X-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylates (X = H, Cl, Br) were synthesized for the first time by diazotization of 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4oxo-8-ethoxycarbonyl-6H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines with tert-butyl nitrite in the presence of trimethylsilyl halides. A new method was developed: a reaction between 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4-oxo-6H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylic acid and I₂/TEA followed by treatment with NaBH₄ led to a mild decarboxylation. The acid reacts with N-halosuccinimides to give novel 8-halo-substituted derivatives. The amino groups of the latter were acylated by treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride to give monoacylation products.

Treatment of ethyl 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4-oxo-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylate with P₂S₅ in pyridine gave ethyl 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4-thioxo-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylate which was subjected to acylation, decarboxylation, and hydrazinolysis.     

Reduction and diazotization of ethyl 7-amino-3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-4-oxo-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylate

The ester group in ethyl 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4-oxo-4,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylate was converted for the first time to methyl by the action of lithium tetrahydridoborate in the presence of boron trifluoride–diethyl ether complex. This reaction has almost no analogies among other classes of organic compounds. New difficultly accessible 7-chloro and 7-azido derivatives were synthesized via diazotization of the reduction product, and treatment of the latter with acetic anhydride afforded the exhaustively acetylated derivative. Diazotization of ethyl 7-amino-3-tert-butyl-4-oxo-4,6-dihydropyrazolo-[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine-8-carboxylate, followed by reaction with sodium azide, gave the corresponding azide, and the product of azo coupling with ethyl acetoacetate failed to undergo intramolecular cyclization to tricyclic pyrazolo[3,2-c: 5,1-c′]bis[1,2,4]triazine system.     

Synthesis of 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐d]‐1,2,4‐triazine‐5‐thiones

The reaction of 3‐N‐(2‐mercapto‐4‐oxo‐4H‐quinazolin‐3‐yl)acetamide ( 1 ) with hydrazine hydrate yielded 3‐amino‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 2 ). The reaction of 2 with o‐chlorobenzaldehyde and 2‐hydroxy‐naphthaldehyde gave the corresponding 3‐arylidene amino derivatives 3 and 4 , respectively. Condensation of 2 with 1‐nitroso‐2‐naphthol afforded the corresponding 3‐(2‐hydroxy‐naphthalen‐1‐yl‐diazenyl)‐2‐methyl‐3H‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐b]quinazolin‐9‐one ( 5 ), which on subsequent reduction by SnCl₂ and HCl gave the hydrazino derivative 6. Reaction of 2 with phenyl isothiocyanate in refluxing ethanol yielded thiourea derivative 7. Ring closure of 7 subsequently cyclized on refluxing with phencyl bromide, oxalyl dichloride and chloroacetic acid afforded the corresponding thiazolidine derivatives 8, 9 and 10 , respectively. Reaction of 2‐mercapto‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 11 ) with hydrazine hydrate afforded 2‐hydrazino‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 12 ). The reactivity 12 towards carbon disulphide, acetyl acetone and ethyl acetoacetate gave 13, 14 and 15 , respectively. Condensation of 12 with isatin afforded 2‐[N‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroindol‐3‐ylidene)hydrazino]‐3‐phenylamino‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one ( 16 ). 2‐(4‐Oxo‐3‐phenylamino‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolin‐2‐ylamino)isoindole‐1,3‐dione ( 17 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 12 with phthalic anhydride. All isolated products were confirmed by their ir, ¹H nmr, ¹³C nmr and mass spectra.

E‐3‐(N,N‐Dimethylamino)‐1‐(3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one ( 2 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 1‐(3‐methylthiazolo[3,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethanone ( 1 ) with dimethylformamide‐dimethylacetal. The reaction of 2 with 5‐amino‐3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole ( 4a ) or 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐(1H)‐triazole ( 4b ) furnished pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine derivatives 6a and 6b , while the reaction of enaminone 2 with 6‐aminopyrimidine derivatives 7a,b afforded pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine derivatives 9a,b , respectively. The diazonium salts 11a or 11b coupled with compound 2 to yield the pyrazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine and 1,2,4‐triazolo[5,1‐c]‐1,2,4‐triazine derivatives 13a and 13b .

A Convenient Approach to 4,7‐Dihydrotetrazolo [5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine Synthesis

Azo coupling of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds with tetrazolyl‐5‐diazonium chloride is used to develop a convenient one‐step procedure for the synthesis of 4,7‐dihydrotetrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines. In contrast to nonfluorinated analogs, 7‐hydroxy‐7‐polyfluoroalkyl‐4,7‐dihydrotetrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines undergo a ring‐chain isomerism resulting from the cleavage at the C7―N7a bond. A distinctive feature of nonfluorinated 4,7‐dihydrotetrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines is the possibility to dehydration, which is accompanied by an azide rearrangement due to the tetrazole ring cleavage with the formation of tetrazolo[1,5‐b][1,2,4]triazines.     

Enaminone Incorporating a Dibromobenzofuran Moiety: Versatile Precursor for Novel Azines and Azolotriazines

2‐Acetyl‐5,7‐dibromobenzo[b]furan ( 1 ) reacted with dimethylformamide‐dimethylacetal to give the corresponding (E)‐enaminone 3 which coupled with aromatic diazonium chloride to afford the corresponding key intermediates 3‐oxo‐2‐(2‐arylhydrazono)propanals 6a , b . Compounds 6a , b were used to prepare novel 3‐imino‐2,3‐dihydropyridazines 10a , b and 6‐phenylazopyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one derivatives 15a , b through their reaction with acetonitrile derivatives 8a , b and 6‐aminopyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one 13 , respectively.

The present study emphasizes on the dealklylation of 3‐aryl‐5‐alkyl‐2‐oxo‐Δ⁴‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles when reacted with formamide resulting in the formation of 2‐aryl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3(4H )‐ones as major product. Subsequent reactions of 2‐aryl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3(4H )‐one gave triazolo[3,4‐b ][1,3,4]thiadiazoles and triazolo[3,4‐b ][1,3,4]thiadiazines derivatives incorporated with 1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐one.
