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.

The reaction of 3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (1) with l-menthol in the presence of aliphatic acid anhydrides results in (6S)- and (6R)-1-acyl-6-(l-menth-3-yl)-1,6-dyhydro-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-ones. The reaction is diastereoselective with predominant formation of (6S)-isomers. The reaction diastereoselectivity increases with enhancement of the steric hindrance in the vicinity of the reaction center of the azine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reactions of 1-lithia-1,2- or 1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane with 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides can follow two competitive pathways: deoxygenative nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen to form 1-(1,2,4-triazin-5-yl)-1,2- or 1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes and the transformation of the 1,2,4-triazine ring into the triazoline ring giving rise to 1-(2-acetyl-1-aroyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-yl)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes. Introduction of the electron-withdrawing triazine ring into the carborane cage substantially facilitates deboronation to give 1-(1,2,4-triazin-5-yl)-1,2-1,7-dicarba-nido-undecaboranes.

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 σH 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 σH 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pyrimidine 1-oxides with cyanamide afforded 2-ureidopyrimidines as the result of the nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen, whereas the formation of similar 2-trichloroacetylaminopyrimidines occurs as dipolar 1,3-cycloaddition of the same oxides to trichloroacetonitrile under much more drastic conditions and in lower yields.
