Synthesis of 1,2,3-triazines

Recent Literature


Readily accessible (Z)-4-aryl-2,4-diazido-2-alkenoates can efficiently be converted to 6-aryl-1,2,3-triazine-4-carboxylate esters under mildly basic conditions without the assistance of any transition metals or strong acid.

A concerted SNAr reaction of 5-bromo-1,2,3-triazines provides 5-aryloxy-1,2,3-triazines via a nonclassic mechanism. 5-aryloxy-1,2,3-triazines could be used as convenient precursors to access biologically important 3-aryloxy-pyridines in one-pot manner.

1,2,3-Triazine 1-oxides are formed by addition of tert-butyl nitrite to the vinylogous position of vinyl diazo compounds. This formal [5 + 1] cycloaddition occurs under mild conditions with high functional group tolerance and regioselectivity, and can be employed for late-stage functionalization. Upon heating in refluxing chlorobenzene, an extrusion of N2 provides isoxazoles in very high yields.

Trialkyl phosphites mediate a convenient, efficient, and inexpensive deoxygenation of 1,2,3-triazine 1-oxide for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazine derivatives in high yield. Triethyl phosphite is more reactive than trimethyl phosphite, and both phosphites form their corresponding phosphates in these reactions.
