Synthesis of 6,8-substituted derivatives of imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines and 1,4-dihydroimidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones

The cyclization of imidazolylhydrazines, synthesized from 5-diazoimidazoles and cyanoacetic acid derivatives, to 4-aminoimidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazines and imidazo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones has been studied. It was established that electron-withdrawing substituents at position 4 of the imidazole ring had a weak effect on the cyclization process. On the other hand, electron-donating substituents at positions 4 or 2 of this ring inhibited and in some cases completely prevented the formation of bicyclic products.Urals State Technical University (UPI), Ekaterinburg 620002, Russia.

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.
