On the amination of 1,2,4-triazines by potassium amide in liquid ammonia and by phenyl phosphorodiamidate. A 15n-study

The amination of 5-R- and 6-R-3-X-1,2,4-triazines (R = C₆H₅, t-C₄H₉, X = SCH₃, SO₂CH₃, N⁺ (CH₃)₃, Cl) by potassium amide in liquid ammonia has been studied. In all reactions the formation of the corresponding 3-amino-1,2,4-triazines takes place; in some reactions by-products were found: from 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine a ring contracted product i.e. 5-phenyl and 5-t-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazole, from 6-phenyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazine the dimer 3,3′-bis-(methylthio)-6,6′-bisphenyl-5,5′-bi-1,2,4-triazine and from 5-t-butyl-3-(trimethylammonio)-1,2,4-triazine chloride compound bis-(5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)- amine. Furthermore the conversion of 5-phenyl- and 5-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazin-3-one into the corresponding 3-amino compound by treatment with phenyl phosphorodiamidate (PPDA) was studied. A ¹⁵N study of these aminations showed that nearly all compounds undergo substitution according to both S_N(AE) and S_N(ANRORC) processes. The contribution of each of the competitive mechanisms to the amination is strongly influenced by the character of the leaving group.     

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.     

1,2,4-triazines. III. A convenient synthesis of 1,2,4-triazines and their covalent hydration

A general synthesis of 1,2,4-triazines, from 3-methylthiotriazines is described. It has been shown that 1,2,4-triazines undergo covalent hydration across the N₄-C₅ bond.     

Protolytic Equilibrium of the Isomeric Phenyl-1,2,4-triazines

The protonation constants for the first and second stages (pK_BH+, pK_BH2+) of a series of 1,2,4-triazines with a phenyl substituent at various positions in the ring were determined in aqueous solution by a spectrophotometric method. The values of the basicity constants characterizing the first protonation of the heterocycles investigated was in the range of acidity of the medium of pH 3.5 to H ₀ -2, and the second from H ₀ -7.3 to H ₀ -8.7. The position of the phenyl substituent proved to have a significant effect on the size of pK_BH+. According to the results of ab initio calculations using HF/6-31G** for the heterocycles investigated the 1H⁺ form is thermodynamically most stable among the monocations, with the exception of 6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine for which the existence of the monocation in the 1H⁺ and 2H⁺ forms are equally probable. In the case of the dications of all the triazines the 2,4-H,H²⁺ tautomer is the most preferred. The aromaticity of the 1,2,4-triazine ring is changed insignificantly on mono- and diprotonation.     

Ethylenimine derivatives of some 1,2,4-triazines

The first 3-ethylenimino-1,2,4-triazines ( 9 ) have been synthesized from the corresponding 3-(β-chloroethyl)amino-1,2,4-triazines ( 8 ). In addition some 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazines and imidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazines were obtained. The stability, properties and potential therapeutic value of these compounds are discussed.     

Nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in the reaction of 1,2,4-triazin-4-oxides with cyanamide

It was shown that cyanamide can successfully be used in reactions of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen with 1,2,4-triazin-4-oxides in the presence of a base to give 5-cyanoimino-1,2,4-triazines. It was found by¹³C NMR spectroscopy that these compounds and their alkylation products at the cyclic nitrogen atom exist in the form of 5-cyanoimino-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines.

Configurational assignments of oximes derived from 5-formyl and 5-acyl-1,2,4-triazines

The configuration of (3-substituted)-1,2,4-triazin-5-ylcarbaldoximes and (3-substituted)alkyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-ylketoximes was determined by means of ¹H-nmr, ¹³C-nmr, ¹⁵N-nmr and homonuclear NOE-difference spec-troscopy. Oximes resulting from reaction of 1,2,4-triazines with nitroalkanes were found to be either pure E-isomers or E/Z-mixtures with the amount of E-isomer greatly predominating. Detailed ¹³C-nmr data of the oximes investigated are presented.     

1,2,4-Triazines X: Dimerizations of 1,2,4-triazmes

5,5′-Bi-1,2,4-triazinyl compounds are obtained by the treatment of 5-unsubstiluted 1,2,4-triazines with either sodium methoxide or with aqueous potassium cyanide. 5,5′-Bi-1,2,4-triazinyl is also obtained by the reaction of 1,2,4-triazine with potassium cyanide. It is proposed that the sodium methoxide catalyzed dimerizations occur via a carbanionic intermediate; the aqueous potassium cyanide catalyzed reactions via a cyanide addition product and the potassium in liquid ammonia reaction via a free radical dimerization process.     

Tandem oxidation processes for the regioselective preparation of 5-substituted and 6-substituted 1,2,4-triazines

α-Hydroxyketones undergo MnO₂-mediated oxidation, followed by in situ trapping with 2-pyridylamidrazone, to give 3-pyridyl-5-substituted 1,2,4-triazines in a one-pot procedure, which avoids the need to isolate the reactive α-ketoaldehyde intermediates. By modifying this procedure to allow condensation prior to oxidation, the corresponding 6-substituted 1,2,4-triazines were obtained. The preparation of a novel unsymmetrical 2,2′-bipyridine using one of the pyridyl 1,2,4-triazines prepared herein is also described.     

Reactions of 1,2,4-Triazines with Nucleophiles. 6. Use of SNH Methodology for the Direct Introduction of Cyclic Diketone Residue into the 1,2,4-Triazine Ring FORENAME = D. N.

3-R-6-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides react with cyclic -diketones (dimethylbarbituric acid, dimedone, and indan) in both acidic (substrate activation) and basic conditions (nucleophile activation) with formation of ^H-adducts, intermediates in the nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (S_N ^H) in 3-R-5-Nu-4-hydroxy-6-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines. Oxidative aromatisation of these intermediates or auto-aromatisation of acylated (benzoyl chloride) at the NOH -adducts with elimination of benzoic acid gave the corresponding substituted 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides or 1,2,4-triazines.     

S N H reactions of pyrazine N-oxides and 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides with CH-active compounds

Nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in pyrazine N-oxides under the action of CH-active compounds requires activation with acylating agents. This activation facilitates aromatization of intermediate ^H adducts via elimination of the acid residue to form substituted pyrazines. More electrophilic 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides react with carbanions derived from CH-active compounds without additional activation according to a scheme, which has previously been unknown for azine N-oxides. This scheme involves aromatization of ^H adducts through elimination of water by the E1cb mechanism. The reaction products occur in DMSO-d₆ solutions predominantly as 6-methylene-1,6-dihydropyrazines and 5-methylene-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines.     

Theoretical Study of the Formation of Benzofurotriazines by Reaction of 3-Substituted 1,2,4-Triazines and Fused Azolo[1,2,4]triazines with Resorcinol

3-Methylthio- and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazines react with resorcinol to give benzofurotetrahydrotriazine derivatives, while reactions of [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]- and tetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazines with resorcinol stop at the stage of resorcinol addition. According to the results of quantum-chemical calculations, the possibility for further cyclization of the resorcinol addition products is determined by the following factors: tautomeric and conformational states of the compounds, which ensure spatial proximity of the hydroxy group to the cyclization center (C⁶); charges on the C⁶ atom of the triazine ring and oxygen atom of the resorcinol fragment in the conformation most favorable for cyclization; and energies of the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals of the resorcinol addition products.     

6- and 7-aryl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]-1,2,4-triazines. Synthesis and characterization

Synthetic methods for the preparation of 6-aryl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]-1,2,4-triazines ( 1 ) and the 7-aryl isomers ( 2 ) are described. Compounds 1 were prepared from aryl glyoxaldoximes 76 via 6-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)ones ( 75 ). A simple procedure for the preparation of the 7-aryl isomers was effected using arylglyoxals 11 and the triazoles ( 4, 12a and 12b ). However, complete regioselectivity was not realized in all cases, especially when the triazoles were substituted at the C-5 position. A regiospecific synthesis of the 7-aryl isomers 2 was developed via the 3-methylthio-5-aryl-1,2,4-triazines ( 61 ). The structure of the parent 6-phenyl derivative 5 was confirmed by x-ray crystallography.     

Preparation of new 1,2,4-triazines

Several 1,2,4-triazines were synthesized. ¹³C- and ¹⁵N-nmr spectroscopy was employed for structure determination.     

1,2,4-Triazine in Organic Synthesis. 16. Reactivity of 3-Substituted 6-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazines towards Phenylacetonitrile Anion in Polar Aprotic Solvents

The reactions of 3-X-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazines (X = SMe, SPh, SO2Ph) with phenylacetonitrile anion in DMF were studied. In these reactions the ring transformation product 3-amino-4,6-diphenylpyridazine, the covalent addition product 3-X-5-(-cyanobenzyl)-6-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine, and the ipso-substitution product 3-(1-cyano-1-phenylmethyl)-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine were obtained. Analogous reactions carried out in DMA gave only the addition products in excellent yields as diastereomeric mixtures of the corresponding 2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines.     

SNH-Reactions of triazolo[4,3-b]- and tetrazolo[1,5-b]-1,2,4-triazines with methylene-active carbonyl compounds

Unsubstituted triazolo[4,3-b]- and tetrazolo[1,5-b]-1,2,4-triazines react with carbanions generated from dimedone and barbituric acid to give adducts of a C-nucleophile with the heterocyclic system through the C=N double bond. The adducts can be oxidized under mild conditions into products of nucleophilic hydrogen substitution. Analogous adducts with carbanions produced in the reactions of ethyl cyanoacetate and ethyl malonate with Bu^tOK proved to be unstable; in this case, the title azolotriazines immediately yield products of nucleophilic hydrogen substitution in position 7. Tautomerism of the S _N ^H products obtained is discussed.     

Syntheses and spectral characteristics of 6-mono-, 3,6-di- and 3,5,6-trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazines

The reaction of acidhydrazides with α-substituted carbonyl compounds in the presence of metal acetates gives substituted 1,2,4-triazines. These cyclisations could be effected without any added acetate by refluxing in dimethyl formamide, pyridine/acetic acid or dimethyl sulfoxide Sixty five 3,5,6-tri-3,6-di and 6 monosubstituted-1,2,4-triazines (in 50–90% yields) with a wide variation in the C₃ substituent (alkyl, aryl or heteryl) and the C₆-substituent (aryl or heteryl) are reported. The mechanistic path followed in the formation of these compounds is discussed.     

Reactions of azinium cations. 8. Electron structures of 3-substituted 1,2,4-triazines and protonation,quaternization, and reactions with nucleophiles

The electron structures of 3-substituted 1,2,4-triazines and isomeric N-methyltriazinium salts were calculated by the CNDO/2 method. The results of the calculations were compared with the parameters of the ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁴N NMR spectra, as well as with experimental data on the protonation, N-alkylation, and reactions of 1,2,4-triazines with simple nucleophiles. The protonation centers of 1,2,4-triazines were determined by means of ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy. The covalent adducts formed by the proton salts of 3-methoxy-, 3-methylthio-, 3-morpholino-, and 3-pyrrolidino-1,2,4-triazine with water and methanol were recorded by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.Communication 7: O.

Condensed Imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 31. Synthesis and Chemical Transformations of Substituted 1,2,4-Triazepino[2,3-a]benzimidazoles

By reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzimidazole with 1,3-diketones, acetoacetic ester and its derivatives, we have synthesized substituted 1,2,4-triazepino[2,3-a]benzimidazole and 5H-1,2,4-triazepino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-4-one. By reaction of 5H-2-methyl-1,2,4-triazepino[2,3-a]benzimidazol-4-one with aromatic aldehydes or phenyldiazonium chloride, we have obtained 3-arylidene(phenylazo) derivatives of this compound, and by reaction with P₂S₅ we have obtained 5H-2-methyl-1,2,4-triazepino[2,3-a]benzimidazole-4-thione. We have shown that when reacted with ammonia, primary or secondary amines, the latter forms 4-amino-substituted 2-methyl-1,2,4-triazepino[2,3-a]benzimidazole.     

Synthesis of thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazines

3-Methylmercapto-5-oxo-6-vinyl- and 2-methyl-3-mercapto-5-oxo-6-vinyl-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines were readily converted into the corresponding thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazine in one step by the action of phosphorus pentasulfide in pyridine. 4-Methyl-3-mercapto-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine is only converted into the 5-thioxo analog and no thiophene ring product was obtained under the same conditions. Thieno[2,3-e]-1,2,4-triazines were also more efficiently obtained by the action of phosphorus petnasulfide in pyridine on the appropriate 6-acylmethyl-3-mercapto-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine.
