1,2,4-Triazoles. V. Nuclear magnetic resonance study of N-Methyl derivatives of 1,2,4-triazoles

The chemical shifts of the N-methyl protons of a number of N-methylated-1,2,4-triazoles were studied. Substitution of methyl and methylthio groups in position 3 causes upfield shifts of the N-methyl signals, while substitution of α-pyridyl, γ-pyridyl, and phenyl groups causes downfield shifts. In 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles, substituents in positions 3 and 5 have additive effects on the chemical shifts of N-methyl groups, so that the chemical shifts of the N-methyl groups of such compounds can be calculated. In this way, it was possible to assign the peaks of mixtures of N-monomethylated derivatives obtained by methylation of 1,2,4-triazoles.

Study The acylation of 3-substituted-5-amino-1 H-1,2,4-triazoles (1) with methyl chloroformate or dimethylcarbamoyl chloride yielded mainly 1-acyl-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles ( 2 and 3 ). Acylation of 3-methyl-, 3-methoxy- and 3-methylthio-5-amino-1 H-1,2,4-triazole ( 1b , 1c and 1d ) with methyl chloroformate gave up to 10% of the 1-acyl-3-amino-1,2,4-triazoles. For the unsubstituted 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole (1a) , a (1:1)-mixture of the 3- and 5-isomers 2a and 4 was obtained in dioxane in the presence of triethylamine. No 4-acylated product was detected in contrast to earlier reports. The structures of the reaction products were determined with the aid of proton coupled ¹³C-NMR. spectra using the corresponding N-methyl-1,2,4-triazoles as reference compounds.     

Heterylation of 3-R1-5-R2-1,2,4-Triazoles with Derivatives of 3,5-Dinitro-1,2,4-Triazole

Heterylation of 3-R¹-5-R²-1'2'4-triazoles (pK _a 3-12) with N-alkyl-, N-alkenyl-, N-alkoxy-carbonyl-, N-oxoalkyl-, N-nitroxyalkyl, N-nitroaminoalkyl-3'5-dinitro-1'2'4-triazoles results insubstitution of a nitro group in 5 position of the dinitro compound yielding 1-R-methyl-3-nitro-5-(3-R¹-5-R²-1,2,4-triazolyl)-1,2,4-triazoles. The side processes: Hydroxide-ion attack on C⁵ and (or) N¹ of the ring both in the substrate and in the target compound afford 1-R-methyl3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones, 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole and NH-acids of N-C-bitriazole series. Optimal reaction media are aprotic dipolar substances, and for compounds prone to heterolysis ethyl acetate-water systems. The azole pK _a is the decisive factor controlling the composition and the ratio of reaction products. The process is promising for azoles with pK _a > 5, and the optimal range of pK _a is 8-10.     

Oxamic acid derivaties in heterocyclic synthesis: Preparation of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine derivatives

N-Aryl-N-(α-phenylphenacyl)oxamoyl chlorides react with N³-arylsubstituted amidrazones to give functionalized 1,2,4-triazoles which undergo ring-closure by the action of thionyl chloride to give 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrazinium chlorides in excellent yields.     

Synthesis and photochemical degradation of N-arylmethyl derivatives of the herbicide 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole

Reaction of an arylmethyl halide with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole ( 1 ) allows the preparation of the three N-aryl-methyl derivatives of 1 bearing the substituent on the heterocyclic nitrogen atoms. In basic medium (methoxide anion in DMF or methanol, or in benzene by phase transfer catalysis), the isomers 3 and 5 substituted at N-1 and N-2 respectively are obtained, while the isomer 4 is isolated from neutral medium (DMF). The isomers 3 and 4 may be also prepared by cyclization of appropriate formylguanidinium derivatives. 3-Arylmethylamino-1,2,4-triazoles 2 may be obtained through reaction of 3-chloro-1,2,4-triazole ( 6 ) with arylmethylamines. Photolysis of the N-arylmethyl-3-amino-1,2,4-triazoles 2-5 in methanol or water-methanol mixture, induces homolytic and heterolytic cleavage of the arylmethyl-C-N bond giving rise to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole ( 1 ). Thus, compounds 2-5 with arylmethyl groups able to absorb solar light may be considered as potential photoactivatable herbicides.

Acidic N-dealkylation in nitrotriazolium salts

New selective synthesis of 1-alkyl-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles and 1-alkyl-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles has been developed, involving acid N-dealkylation of the relative 4-nitro-1,2,3- and 3-nitro- 5-R-1,2,4-triazolium salts. The assortment of novel 1-alkyl- 4(5)-nitro-1,2,3-triazoles has been thus essentially expanded. Treatment of relative 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazolium salts with HCl or HBr proceeds mostly as S_N^ipso-substitution of the nitro group.

In addition, the selective reduction of the formed dihydrotriazolopyrimidines to trans-trans-2-alkylthio-7-aryl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxamides was established.
