2-R-amino-4,6-bis (trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazines have been synthesized, and their structures have been established. Dynamic¹³C NMR spectroscopy has been used to measure the rotational barriers of the tertbutylamino group around the C₍₂₎-NHBu-t bond in 2-(tert-butylamino)-4,6-dichloro-1, 3, 5-triazine and 2-(tertbutylamino)-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the structure of 2-(tertbutylamino)-4,6-bis (trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine. From the results obtained in this work it has been concluded that the bond between the NHBu-t group and the triazine ring has a partial double-bond character.N. D.

Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of 2,4,6-Tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine. 3. Reaction of 2,4,6-Tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine with Azides and Hydrazine

As a result of nucleophilic substitution of the trinitromethyl groups in 2,4,6-tris(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine, the corresponding monoazido and diazido derivatives have been synthesized. The reaction of the starting triazine with hydrazine acetate in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid leads to 1-acetyl-2,2-bis[4,6-bis(trinitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]hydrazine.

Crystal Structures and Packing of 2,4,6-tris(4-Fluorophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4,6-tris(3,4-Dimethylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine. New Materials for Octupolar Nonlinear Optics

The crystal structures and packing of 2,4,6-tris(4-fluorophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4,6-tris(3,4-dimethylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine are discussed. These structures have been determined as a continuation of a series of octupolar NLO materials we have been investigating. The crystal structures are characterized by C–H...F and C–H... hydrogen bonds, respectively. A characteristic of these triazine structures is the presence of dimeric Piedfort Units (PU) that are extended into more elaborate two-dimensional (2-D) networks. The structure of the fluoro derivative is compared with that of the corresponding unsubstituted and chloro/bromo-substituted derivatives. The structure of the dimethyl triazine is compared with that of the corresponding 4-methyl derivative. The noncentrosymmetric nature of the dimethyl derivative was confirmed by a powder SHG signal at 1.064 m of the order of 0.5 × KDP. Interestingly, the dimethyl derivative studied here is isostructural with the corresponding 4-methyl triazine. This H/Me isostructurality is shown to be an uncommon phenomenon by an analysis with the CSD.     

An efficient and facile one-pot synthesis of structurally unique 2,4,6-tris(arylchalcogeno)-1,3,5-triazine and 1,3,5-tris(arylchalcogeno)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene

An efficient one-pot synthesis of a novel class of 2,4,6-tris(arylchalcogeno)-1,3,5-triazine (sulfur, selenium and tellurium) and 1,3,5-tris(arylchalcogeno)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (sulfur and selenium)-containing ligands has been developed based on the reaction of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene with the corresponding arylchalcogenide anions generated in aqueous tetrahydrofuran.     

Efficient synthesis of homoallylic alcohols and amines using 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine

The allylation of aldehydes and imines has efficiently been carried out by treatment with allyltributylstannane in the presence of a catalytic amount of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine at room temperature to form the corresponding homoallylic alcohols and amines, respectively, in high yields.     

Reaction of 2,4,6-triazido-1,3,5-triazine with triphenylphosphane. syntheses and characterization of the novel 2-triphenylphosphanimino-4-azidotetrazolo[5,1-a]-[1,3,5]triazine and 2,4,6,-tris(triphenylphosphanimino)-1,3,5-triazine

2-Triphenylphosphanimino-4-azidotetrazolo[5,1-a]-[1,3,5]triazine (6) was obtained by reaction of 2,4,6-triazido-1,3,5-triazine (1) with 1 equiv of triphenylphosphane. Raman and X-ray data revealed that only one azide group formed a tetrazole ring system whereas the second azide group did not undergo ring closure. To investigate the equilibrium between the tetrazole isomer and the open-chain azide structure for these and related species, (31)P NMR studies were carried out. The obtained spectra displayed an equilibrium between the tetrazole and the open-chain azide isomers. 2,4,6-Tris(triphenylphosphanimino)-1,3,5-triazine (4) was prepared by treatment of 1 with 3 equiv of triphenylphosphane, and its X-ray structure is discussed. On the basis of PM3 semiempirical and density functional calculations, the reaction of 1 with triphenylphosphane was studied. The thermodynamics of different isomerization reactions and the activation barriers to cyclization were estimated.     

Thermodynamic stability of 2,4,6-tris(nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine: an experimental and theoretical study

The molecular geometries and electronic structures of 2,4,6-tris(nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine isomers were investigated by the density functional method DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G** to elucidate the structural factors responsible for the stability of these systems. It was shown that a characteristic feature of the nitromethyl tautomer (1) of 2,4,6-tris (nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine consists in nonvalence interactions between an oxygen atom of nitro group and a carbon atom of triazine ring, which are probably due to Coulomb attraction between them. The tautomer with the 2,4,6-tris (nitromethylene)-hexahyrdo-1,3,5-triazine structure (2) is stabilized trough direct polar conjugation between the amino and nitro groups at the double bond. Structural strain of the molecule with the 2,4,6-tris(aci-nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine structure (3) is the reason for its thermodynamic instability. X-ray data indicate that the compound under study exists in the triazine tautomeric form 1 and the distances between oxygen atoms of nitro group and carbon atom of the triazine ring are shortened. NMR data suggest the existence of triazine in the nitromethyl form 1 in acetonitrile and acetone and a tautomeric equilibrium between the nitromethyl and nitromethylene forms in a more polar solvent (DMSO). The results obtained suggest a Coulomb-type stabilization of the 2,4,6-tris(nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine molecule in the gas phase, in the crystal, and in nonpolar solvents.     

Nucleophilic identity substitution reactions. The reaction between ammonia and protonated amines

The gas phase reactions between NH3 and the protonated amines MeNH3+, EtNH3+, PriNH3+, and Bu(t)nH3+ have been studied by high level ab initio methods. Mass spectrometric experiments yielded no significant reaction products; this result being consistent with the calculated reaction barriers. The potential energy profiles for both nucleophilic substitution (SN2) and elimination (E2) pathways have been investigated. Both back side Walden inversion (SNB) and front side (SNF) nucleophilic reaction profiles have been generated. The SNB reaction barriers are found to be higher for the more alkyl substituted reaction centres. Reaction barrier trends have been analysed and compared with the results of a similar study of the H2O-ROH2+ system (R = Me, Et, Pri, and Bu(t)).

Inclusion of tetramethylpyrazine in channels of the organic zeolite 2,4,6-tris(4-bromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine

2,4,6-tris(4-bromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (BrPOT) features a channel size (11–12 Å) allowing the inclusion of large guest molecules such as tetramethylpyrazine (TMPZ). TMPZ forms π-stacks (d: 3.5 Å) along channels of BrPOT and shows rotational disorder for methyl positions. Co-inclusions of I₂ resulted in a doped state where I₂ molecules are oriented perpendicular to the channel axis with positional disorder as well. The particular orientation of I₂ molecules is evident from the observed dichroism.     

Trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazines. 2. Synthesis of 1,3,5-triazines from 2,4,6-tris[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)methylene]hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine

A study was carried out on electrophilic addition and hydrolytic dissociation of 2,4,6-tris[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)methylene]hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine. Chloro, bromo, and methyl derivatives of tris[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)methyl]-1,3,5-triazine were synthesized for the first time as well as 2,4,6-tris-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl)-1,3,5-triazine.

The structure of 2,4,6-tris[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)methylidene]-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine

The structure of 2,4,6-tris[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)methylidene]hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine was studied by quantum chemistry, NMR and IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. This compound exists exclusively in the hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine form both in solution and in the solid phase, although due to the loss of the aromatization energy, this structure should be less stable than a 1,3,5-triazine structure. The formation of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction data may be a main reason for stabilization of the hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine isomer.

Syntheses and crystal structures of copper(II) complexes derived from 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine

Treatment of freshly precipitated Cu(OH)₂?·?xH₂O and 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz) with oxalic and malonic acids in methanol-water at room temperature gave [Cu(tptz)(C₂O₄)(H₂O)]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu(pma)(C₃H₂O₄)(H₂O)]?·?H₂O (2) (pma?=?2-aminocarbonylpyridine), respectively. Reaction in the absence of any acid resulted in [Cu(bpca)(tca)]?·?2H₂O (3) (bpca?=?bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide anion; tca?=?2-pyridinecarboxylate anion). Complex 1 consists of [Cu(tptz)(C₂O₄)(H₂O)] and lattice H₂O molecules; the tridentate tptz ligand, bidentate oxalate dianion and an aqua ligand are bound to Cu with distorted octahedral geometry. Complex 2 is composed of [Cu(pma)(C₃H₂O₄)(H₂O)] and lattice H₂O molecules; the bidentate 2-aminocarbonylpyridine ligand, a bidentate malonate dianion and an aqua ligand are coordinated to Cu with a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry. Complex 3 consists of [Cu(bpca)(tca)] and lattice H₂O molecules. Square pyramidally coordinated Cu atoms are surrounded by tridentate bpca with nitrogen donor atoms and a bidentate 2-pyridinecarboxylate anion.     

Trisubstituted 1,3,5-Triazines. 6. Synthesis of 2,4,6-Tris(acetonyl)-1,3,5-triazine

Acylation of 2,4,6-tris(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl)-1,3,5-triazine with acetic anhydride in the presence of lithium hydride with subsequent removal of the tert-butoxycarbonyl groups with trifluoroacetic acid leads to 2,4,6-tris(acetonyl)-1,3,5-triazine, the cyclic analog of -cyanoacetone. The special spectral features of this compound compared with triazines obtained previously are discussed.     

Synthesis,characterization, crystal structure and oxygen-evolution activity of a manganese(II) complex with 2,4,6-tris (2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine

The title complex [Mn(tptz)(CH₃COO)(OH₂)₂]NO₃ was synthesized through the reaction of tptz (2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine), nitric acid and manganese(II) acetate. The molecular structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, electrochemistry, EPR, IR, fluorescence and UV–Vis spectroscopy and its oxygen evolving activity has been studied. X-ray structure analysis shows that each Mn(II) ion is seven coordinated by a bidentate acetate, three nitrogen atoms of tptz and two oxygen atoms from two water ligands, which are coordinated in axial positions. The complex acts as an oxygen evolving complex with oxone (2KHSO₅·KHSO₄·K₂SO₄) as primary oxidant in aqueous solution with a turnover number of 1 (mol of O₂/mol of the complex). Kinetic studies revealed a first-order dependence on the complex and oxidant. The EPR spectrum shows that the mononuclear complex oxidize to a Mn^III,IV₂ di-μ-oxo by oxone.
