Triazole phosphonates. Electrophilic substitution of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,4-triazoles via lithiated triazole intermediates

The metalation chemistry of several 1-substituted-1H-1,2,4-triazoles has been investigated. When various alkyl groups were incorporated in the 1-position, lithiation proceeded exclusively at C-5. The 1-trityl-, 1-methyl-, and 1-benzyl-5-lithio-1,2,4-triazoles were stable at ?78° and reacted cleanly with a variety of electrophiles. The 1-benzyl and 1-methyl derivatives were synthetically more versatile and could be successfully utilized to prepare several examples of the previously unknown 1,2,4-triazol-5-yl phosphonates.     

Reactions of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazoles with cinnamic aldehydes

The reaction of 3-amino- and 3-amino-5-methylthio-1,2,4-triazoles with cinnamaldehyde takes two directions to form mixtures of 5-[N-(3-phenylpropenylideneamino)]-1H-1,2,4-triazoles and 5-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ols.     

Synthesis of 1,3,5-Trisubstituted 1H-1,2,4-Triazoles Containing Hetaryl Fragments

N¹-Phenyl- and N¹-(3,5-dichloro-2-pyridyl)amidrazones have been synthesized by the reaction of imino esters of heterocyclic acids with phenyl- or (3,5-dichloro-2-pyridyl)hydrazine. Acylation of the products with acid chlorides leads to 1-phenyl- and 1-(3,5-dichloro-2-pyridyl)-3-hetaryl-5-R²-1H-1,2,4-triazoles. Compounds of this type are also formed by the condensation of N-acylimino esters of heterocyclic acids with phenyl- or (3,5-dichloro-2-pyridyl)hydrazine.     

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.     

Nitroimines: II. Structure of Nitroamino-1,2,4-triazoles

According to the X-ray diffraction data, compounds formerly known as 3(5)-nitroamino-1,2,4-triazoles are in fact N-nitroimines rather than primary N-nitroamines. Their chemical properties and UV and NMR spectra indicate their nitroimine structure in solution as well.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 928–933.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Astakhov, Vasil’ev, Molokeev, Revenko, Stepanov.     

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.

The synthesis of pyridyloxadiazoles by the reaction of acid chlorides with 5-(2-pyrklyl)-tetrazole or 2-pyridineamidoxime was studied. Reaction of 2-pyridineamidoxime with N,N-dimethylcarbamyl chloride produced 3-(2-pyridyl)-4-N,N-dimethylaminocarbony 1-1,2,4-oxadi-azol-5(4H)one instead of the expected oxadiazole. The oxadiazolone underwent thermal rearrangement with expulsion of carbon dioxide to yield the desired 3-(2-pyridyl)-5-N,N-dimethylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazole.

Identification of 4,5-unsymmetrically substituted l-amino- and 1-(N-arylacetylamino)-1,2,3-triazoles by 13C-NMR

¹³C nmr chemical shifts are used for the structural assignment of isomeric 1-amino-1,2,3-triazoles and 1-(N-arylacetylamino)-1,2,3-triazoles unsymmetrically substituted with phenyl, methyl or hydrogen in the 4,5-positions of the triazole ring. A signal at 11 ± 0.6 ppm indicates a 4-methyl triazole derivative, whereas a signal at 7.9 ± 1 ppm indicates a 5-methyl triazole. A signal at 120 ± 0.5 ppm (C-5) indicates a hydrogen in the 5-position (unsubstituted triazole).     

3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one derivatives

3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one and its monomethyl derivatives react with methyl vinyl ketone to give products of addition to the ring N₁ and N₄ atoms.

The keto derivatives of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one undergo the Schmidt reaction to give the corresponding acetamides. A number of compounds that include functional groups in the N₁-alkyl substituent of the 3-nitro ring were obtained by treatment of the bases of N₁-substituted 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazoles in aprotic media.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 552–558, April, 1981.     

Tautomerism of aza cycles: I. Structure of 3(5)-butylsulfanyl-5(3)-methyl(phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomers in crystal. Preference of the 3-RA-5-RD-1H-tautomer of 3(5)-mono-and 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles

The X-ray diffraction study of potentially tautomeric 3(5)-butylsulfanyl-5(3)-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole and its 5(3)-phenyl-substituted analog showed that these compounds in crystal have the structure of 3-butylsulfanyl-5-methyl(phenyl)-1H-tautomers. Analysis of our experimental and published data indicated that 3(5)-monosubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles and 3,5-disubstituted derivatives having nonequivalent substituents in crystal as exist as a tautomer in which the electron-acceptor substituent (R_A) occupies the 3 position, while the electron-donor substituent (R_D) resides in the 5 position, i.e., as 3-R_A-5-R_D-1H-1,2,4-triazoles. Symmetric 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles could give rise to tautomeric equilibrium between the 1H-and 2H-structures even in crystal.

N-Benzoylthioamides ( 1 ) react with hydrazines and hydroxylamine to form 1H-1,2,4-triazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, respectively. A similar treatment of the S-methyl derivatives of 1 with amidines leads to 1,3,5-triazines. Ethyl ZV-benzoylthiocarbamate undergoes analogous reactions to yield the corresponding ethoxyheterocycles.
