Study of the Products of Iodocyclization of 4-Allyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione

The interaction of 4-allyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with iodine proceeds with the formation of a mixture of 6-iodomethyl-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole and 6-iodo-3-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine. The structures of the cyclization products obtained were established on the basis of the ¹H NMR spectra of their dehydroiodinated derivatives. 6-Methyl-3-phenylthiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazole, 3-phenyl-5H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine, and 3-phenyl-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3-thiazine are formed on eliminating HI from the cyclization products.     

New silica hybrids elaborated by sol-gel process from bifunctional thiadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole precursors

New hybrid materials were synthesized from an inorganic precursor, (tetraethoxysilane: TEOS) and bifunctional organic precursors through the sol-gel process. Indeed, monolithic and transparent hybrid gels were obtained by the reaction of tetraethoxysilicate (TEOS) with 1,2,4-thiadiazole-3,5-diamine (1), 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (2), and 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (3) in ethanol as solvent, using chloric acid (HCl 10^?1M) as catalyst. It is shown that TEOS has been cross-linked with bi-functional heterocyclic compounds: (1), (2) and (3) leading to the formation of transparent and colorous gels. The characterization was realized by infrared, ²⁹Si and ¹³C CP MAS NMR. The xerogels morphology and texture were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer – Emmet – Teller method (BET). The obtained results show that organic adducts (1), (2) and (3) react with TEOS leading to gels in which Si–N and Si–S bridges were formed. According to N₂-physisorption results, xerogels are mesoporous with specific surface area varied from 105 to 312 m²g^?1 and their isotherms are classified as type IV. The optic and magnetic properties of hybrids were studied respectively by UV-Vis spectroscopy and RPE. This study showed that all materials are paramagnetic semiconductors.     

13C NMR STUDY OF SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS IN 1,2,4-OXADIAZOLE AND 1,2,4-THIADIAZOLE DERIVATIVES

¹³C chemical shifts of C═N, C═O and C═S carbons of 3,4-disubstituted-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-ones(thiones) and 3,4-disubstituted-1,2,4-thiadiazole-5-ones have been determined in CDCl₃ solution. Exceptionally good Hammett correlations of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of these carbons with σ were obtained. The negative ρ values observed (inverse substituent effects) indicate π-polarization of the C═N, C═O and C═S bonds. As expected, the long distance C═O and C═S ¹³C chemical shifts were found less susceptible to substituent-induced electronic changes.     

Ab Initio Calculation of the Structure of 5-Chloro-1,2,4-triazole

Three tautomeric forms of 5-chloro-1,2,4-triazole were calculated using the Hartree-Fock (ab initio) and Meller-Plesset methods in the 6-31G(d) basis. The ³⁵Cl NQR parameters were calculated using the occupancies of the 3p-components of the valence p-orbitals of the chlorine atom. The structure of this triazole was derived from the data obtained.

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.     

Differentiation between [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a] pyrimidine and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]‐ pyrimidine regioisomers by 1H?15N HMBC experiments

The condensation of malonoaldehyde derivatives with either a 3‐amino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole or a 3,5‐diamino‐[1,2,4]‐triazole precursor was studied. In agreement with previous reports, two different bicycles, namely, bearing the regioisomeric [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine ( 1 ) or[1,2,4] triazolo [4,3‐a]pyrimidine ( 2 ) structural surrogates, could be obtained. We found that, depending on the triazole precursor, only one regioisomer resulted, either of the 1 or 2 series. We also observed that these two structural surrogates could be unambiguously differentiated by indirectly measuring their ¹⁵N chemical shifts by ¹H? ¹⁵N HMBC experiments. The occasional conversion of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines to the [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine counterparts could be unequivocally determined by ¹⁵N NMR data.

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.

New 1,2,4-triazine-containing podands: synthesis and properties

A method of one-step C-C coupling of 1,5-bis(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-3-oxapentane (1a) and 1,8-bis(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane (1b) with 3-methylthio- (2) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine (3) and 3-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one (6-8) has been described. The reaction of compounds 1a,b with compounds 2 and 3 in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid results in the addition of the dimethylphenoxy group to the unsubstituted C(5) carbon atom of the triazine ring. The reactions of triazinones 6-8 with compounds 1a,b in a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and organic anhydrides are accompanied by the acylation of the nitrogen atom adjacent to the reaction center and affords bis[(3-R-1-acyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazin-6-yl)-2,6-dimethylphenoxy]-3-oxapentane or -3,6-dioxaoctane. The obtained adducts can smoothly be oxidized under mild conditions to form more stable products of nucleophilic hydrogen substitution in the triazine ring. The extraction and transport of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ cations through an organic membrane by the compounds synthesized are discussed.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Isomerization ofn-butane on the SO4/ZrO2 catalyst promoted by IV Period metals

The catalytic activity of superacidic systems based on SO₄/ZrO₂ and modified by IV Period metals in isomerization ofn-butane was studied. At low temperatures of the reaction, the introduction of Fe³⁺, Sc³⁺, Co²⁺, or Zn²⁺ ions (1%) increases the yield of isobutane by 1.5 times due to the activation ofn-butane on the sites created by the promoting ions. The addition of Cr³⁺, V⁴⁺, or Mn²⁺ (1%) decreases the catalytic activity because of a decrease in the catalyst acidity, most likely, due to the reduction of surface sulfur species. The influence of the nature of the support and surface additives of SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂ on the activity and selectivity of the catalytic system inn-butane isomerization was studied.

Reactions of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles with alkylating agents. 6*. Alkylation of a neutral heterocycle by alcohols in acid media*

Reaction of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole and 5-methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole with secondary and tertiary alcohols in conc. H₂SO₄ takes place at the N(2) atom. Alkylation by 2-propanol occurs regioselectively to form the 1-isopropyl-3-nitro-and 1-isopropyl-3-methyl-5-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles. As a consequence of isomerization the alkylation using cyclohexyl or tert-butyl alcohols gives respectively a mixture of regioisomers substituted at atom N(1) (1-cyclohexyl-3-nitro-and 1-cyclohexyl-5-methyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles) and at atom N(2) (5-nitro-1-cyclohexyl-and 1-cyclohexyl-3-methyl-5-nitro-1,2,4-triazoles) and, in the second case, to 1-tert-butyl-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole. * For Communication 5 see [1].

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.     

The tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy group in the synthesis of 1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(4H)-one 1-oxides

Treatment of 2-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)anilines with phosgene at 20 °C was proposed as a novel route to 1,2,4-benzotriazin-3(4H )-one 1-oxides. This method involves a new reaction, viz., an intramolecular interaction of the tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy group with a C-electrophile (leading to the formation of the N(2)—C(3) bond of the triazine ring) followed by elimination of the tert-butyl group. Complete assignment of the signals in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the compounds obtained was performed. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Antimicrobial Properties of 4-Aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ2-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones

Four 4-aryl-3-(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)-Δ²-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones were synthesized by intramolecular cyclization of 4-aryl-1-[(2-methyl-furan-3-yl)carbonyl]thiosemicarbazides in alkaline medium. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized triazoles was evaluated. Semiempirical calculations of geometries, energies, and QSAR parameters have been determined in the hope of gaining insight into different biological activities of closely related isomers. New RM1 parameterization has been shown to perform very well for this class of compounds.
