Synthesis and structure of 1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolium salts and their free bases

1-Methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazolium iodides can be obtained by reacting methylhydrazones with S-methylthioamide hydriodides, by condensing 2-methylamidrazone hydriodides with aldehydes and ketones, or by reacting methyl iodide with 1-alkylidene (or arylidene)benzamidrazones. In solutions these salts are capable of undergoing tautomerism to 1-alkylidene(or arylidene)-2-methylamidrazone hydriodides. The influence of the structural factors on the position of the tautomeric equilibrium has been studied. The free bases obtained by neutralization of the respective salts by an alkali metal hydroxide are heretofore undescribed 1-alkylidene(or arylidene)-2-methylhydrazidoimines or 4-triazolines, depending on their structure. Under the action of oxygen, these compounds are readily oxidized to substituted 1-methyl-1,2,4-triazoles with heating.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedineniii, No. 10, pp. 1415–1421, October, 1984.     

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial screening of some novel 1,2,4-triazine derivatives

A new series of 1, 2, 4-triazine derivatives possessing indole nucleus were synthesized with an aim to explore their effect on in vitro growth of microorganisms causing microbial infection.

Results revealed that some compounds of the series were found to exhibit better activity with less toxicity than Ciprofloxacin.

The results are further confirmed by theoretical simulation.

Synthesis, characterization, thermal properties and flame retardancy of a novel nonflammable phosphazene-based epoxy resin

Hexakis(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-cyclotriphosphazene (PN-OH) was synthesized through nucleophilic substitution of the chloride atoms of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and reduction of the aldehyde groups, and its chemical structure was characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H and ³¹P NMR, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. A new phosphazene-based epoxy resin (PN-EP) was successfully synthesized through the reaction between diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and PN-OH, and its chemical structure was confirmed by FTIR and gel permeation chromatography. Four PN-EP thermosets were obtained by curing with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM), dicyandiamide (DICY), novolak and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA). The reactivity of PN-EP with the four curing agents presents an increase in the order of DDM, PMDA, novolak and DICY. An investigation on their thermal properties shows that the PN-EP thermosets achieve higher glass-transition and decomposition temperatures in comparison with the corresponding DGEBA ones while their char yields increase significantly. The PN-EP thermosets also exhibit excellent flame retardancy. The thermosets with novolak, DICY and PMDA achieve the LOI values above 30 and flammability rating of UL94 V-0, whereas the one with DDM reaches the V-1 rating. The nonflammable halogen-free epoxy resin synthesized in this study has potential applications in electric and electronic fields in consideration of the environment and human health.     

Molecular dynamics simulation of the energetic room-temperature ionic liquid, 1-hydroxyethyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium nitrate (HEATN)

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate the structure and dynamics of an energetic ionic liquid, 1-hydroxyethyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium nitrate (HEATN). The generalized amber force field (GAFF) was used, and an electronically polarizable model was further developed in the spirit of our previous work (Yan, T.; Burnham, C. J.; Del Popolo, M. G.; Voth, G. A. J. Phys. Chem. B 2004, 108, 11877). In the process of simulated annealing from a liquid state at 475 K down to a glassy state at 175 K, the MD simulations identify a glass-transition temperature region at around 250-275 K, in agreement with experiment. The self-intermediate scattering functions show vanishing boson peaks in the supercooled region, indicating that HEATN may be a fragile glass former. The coupling/decoupling of translational and reorientational ion motion is also discussed, and various other physical properties of the liquid state are intensively studied at 400 K. A complex hydrogen bond network was revealed with the calculation of partial radial distribution functions. When compared to the similarly sized 1-ethyl-4-methyl-1,4-imidazolium nitrate ionic liquid, EMIM+/NO3-, a hydrogen bond network directly resulting in the poorer packing efficiency of ions is observed, which is responsible for the lower melting/glass-transition point. The structural properties of the liquid/vacuum interface shows that there is vanishing layering at the interface, in accordance with the poor ion packing. The effects of electronic polarization on the self-diffusion, viscosity, and surface tension of HEATN are found to be significant, in agreement with an earlier study on EMIM+/NO3- (Yan, T.; Burnham, C. J.; Del Popolo, M. G.; Voth, G. A. J. Phys. Chem. B 2004, 108, 11877).

New synthetic routes to 1-methyl-1-silaindane (1b) and 1-methyl-1-germaindane (1b) were developed and the desired products were obtained in good isolated yield. Compounds 1a and 1b were fully characterized by mass spectroscopy, ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR, and infrared spectroscopy.     

Synthesis and structure elucidation of 3-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4,-triazol-5-amine and 5-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4,-triazol-3-amine

Previously it was shown that condensation of dimethyl N-cyanodithioimidocarbonate ( 1a ) with methylhydrazine gave predominantly 1-methyl-5-methylthio-1H-,2,4-triazol-3-amine ( 2 ), which was initially identified erroneously as the regioisomer l-methyl-3-methylthio-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine ( 3 ). We have found that reaction of dimethyl N-cyanoimidocarbonate ( 1b ) with methyl hydrazine affords a high yield of 3-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine ( 4 ) rather than the regioisomer 5-methoxy-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine ( 5 ). The structure assignment of 4 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of the benzenesulfonyl isocyanate adduct 7 . Triazole 5 was obtained after reacting dimethyl N-cyanothioimidocarbonate ( 1c ) with methylhydrazine.     

A2TiF5·nH2O (A=K, Rb, or Cs; n=0 or 1): Synthesis, structure, characterization, and calculations of three new uni-dimensional titanium fluorides

Three new uni-dimensional alkali metal titanium fluoride materials, A₂TiF₅·nH₂O (A=K, Rb, or Cs; n=0 or 1) have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions. The structures of A₂TiF₅·nH₂O have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ti⁴⁺ cations have been reduced to Ti³⁺ during the synthesis reactions. All three A₂TiF₅·nH₂O materials contain novel 1-D chain structures that are composed of the slightly distorted Ti³⁺F₆ corner-sharing octahedra attributable to the Jahn-Teller distortion. The coordination environment of the alkali metal cations plays an important role to determine the degree of turning in the chain structures. Complete structural analyses, Infrared and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and thermal analyses are presented, as are electronic structure calculations.
