Reactivity of 3,5-bis-(4-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole

Alkylation of 3,5-bis(4-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole with haloalkanes afforded N-CH₂R derivatives, and nitration furnished the corresponding bis-N-nitramine isolated as a trisodium salt. Treatment of the latter with CH₃I resulted in denitration. Diazotization and oxidation of 3,5-bis(4-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2,4- triazole, its N-methyl and N-carboxy derivatives gave rise to the corresponding azido and nitro derivatives. Salts of 3,5-bis(4-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-acetic acid with nitrogen-containing bases were synthesized. It was established that the character of reaction products of 3,5-bis(4-amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole with formaldehyde depended on the acid-base properties of the medium.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khirmii, Vol. 41, No. 2, 2005, pp. 270–276.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Sergievskii, Romanova, Mel’nikova, Tselinskii.

A new and effective procedure was developed for the synthesis of 3-ethylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one from o-phenylenediamine and ethyl 2-oxobutanoate.
