Kinetics of thermal decomposition of explosives 3-amino-5-nitro-l,2,4-triazole (ANTA) and its derivatives [38], l,3-bis(l,2,4-triazol-3-amino)-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene [39] and transition metal salts of NTO [40].

Treatment of the ammonium salt of 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole (113) with hydrazine hydrate leads to selective reduction of one of the nitro groups to yield 3-amino-5-nitro-1,2,4-triazole (ANTA) (114), a high performance explosive (calculated VOD 8460 m/s) possessing thermal stability (m.p. 238 °C) and an extremely low sensitivity to impact. ANTA (114) is also synthesized from the nitration of 3-acetyl-l,2,4-triazole with anhydrous nitric acid in acetic anhydride at subambient temperature followed by hydrolysis of the acetyl functionality. The ammonium salt of 3,5-dinitro-l,2,4-triazole (113) is itself a useful explosive which forms a eutectic with ammonium nitrate. ... 

Diazotiation 3-amino-5-acetamido-l,2,4-triazole and following substitution diazo group on nitro group on the method [392] leads to corresponding nitrotriazole [445], which on the acyl protection relieving gives 5-amino-3-nitro-l,2,4-triazole [262, 446] (Scheme 57). 

New energetic materials were prepared from by perfluoroalkyl-l,2,4-triazoles. For instance, Shreeve et al. obtained 3-nitro-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazole 90 by the diazotization of 3-amino-5-trifluoromethyl-l,2,4-triazole in the concentrated sulfuric acid [87], In its turn 3-amino-l,2,4-triazole and 3-nitro-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazole were used in the preparation of energetic 3-amino-l,2,4-triazolium 3-nitro-5-trifluoromethyl-l,2,4-triazolate 91. Energetic polymeric material 92 was synthesized containing in the monomer unit ions of 3-nitro-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazolate. The yield of polymer is unknown [88]. 

Nitro-l,2,4-triazole (45%) [451] and l-methyl-4-cyano-5-nitropyrazole (42%) [452] were isolated during the oxidation of corresponding aminoazole derivatives by a solution of hydrogen peroxide in trifluoroacetic acid. One of the amino groups in l-acyl-3,5-diamino-l,2,4-triazole is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium tungstate [453] (Scheme 59). 

More recently, Stepanov et al. (1989) investigated the acid-base properties of the zwitterion 3.22 which is obtained in the diazotization of 5-amino-3-nitro-l,2,4-triazole. Under alkaline conditions the (Z)-diazoate dianion 3.23 is formed. It can be isomerized thermally to give the (E)-diazoate dianion 3.24. If the solution of this compound is acidified, the primary addition of a proton takes place at the anionic ring nitrogen yielding 3.25, and subsequently the hydrogen-bond-stabilized (Z)-iso-mer (3.26). Further acidification gives the nitrosoamine (3.27). 

Amino derivatives of 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazoles are useful precursors to the corresponding nitro-substituted triazoles. 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (98) undergoes diazotization on reaction with nitrous acid the resulting diazonium salt (110) can react with a range of nucleophiles, including an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite which yields 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole (111). Diazotization of 3,5-diamino-l,2,4-triazole (112), followed by heating with an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite, yields 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole (113). ... 

Gilardi and co-workers reported a synthesis of 4-(trimethylsilyl)-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazole (136) via a cycloaddition between l-nitro-2-(trimethylsilyl)acetylene (134) and trimethylsilyl azide (135). This may provide a route to 4,5-dinitro-l,2,3-triazole via nitrodesilylation or lead to the synthesis of 4-amino-5-nitro-l,2,3-triazole, an isomer of ANTA. 

In aryl- or amino-substituted 1,2,4-triazols the nitro group enters the side chain [269-271], An attempt to realize the nitration of 3,5-bisphenylamino-l,2,4-triazole led to opening of the triazole ring. Picrylurea was isolated as the only reaction product [272], The nitration products of 2-methyl-l,2,3-triazole 1-oxide under mild conditions (20°C) are a mixture of 5-nitro (75%) and 4-nitro (23%) derivatives.

A three-component condensation of 3-amino-l, 2,4-triazole (or its 5-Me and 5-methylthio derivatives), 1 and DMF-dimethylacetal afforded 8,9-dihydro[l,2,4]triazolo[l,5-fl]quinazolin-6(7H)-ones (06RCB1224). Condensation of 3,4,5-triamino-l,2,4-triazole with aromatic aldehydes and dimedone afforded partially hydrogenated 9-aryl-[l,2,4]triazolo[5,l-frJquinazolin-8-ones. The structure of 2-amino-6,6-dimethyl-3-(4-nitro-benzylidene)amino-9-(4-nitrophenyl)-5,6,7,9-tetrahydro[l,2,4]triazolo[5,l-fr]-quinazolin-8-one was confirmed by X-ray analysis (05RCB2903). 

Amino-l-nitro-l,2,4-triazole (581), obtained by nitration of 5-amino-triazole with acetyl nitrate, rearranges, on heating, to the nitramino-triazole (582). ° The combined action of sodium hydroxide, potassium iodide, tri-ethylamine, and sodium dihydrogen phosphite on the chloro-nitro-triazole (583) results in a mixture of the rearranged triazole (584), 3-chloro-l,2,4-triazole, and the coupled product (585). The stable betaine (586) has been prepared by treatment of 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole with phenacyl bromide, followed by tri-ethylamine. The meso-ionic triazolium thiolate (537 X = S) reacts with chlorine to form the dichloride (587 X = SCU), which has been converted into the betaine (588) by the action of diethyl bromomalonate in the presence of triethylamine. ...

Substitution of the 4-nitro group in 3,4-dinitrofuroxan 1176 by ammonia occurs readily, even at low temperature. Subsequent treatment of the obtained amine, product 1177, with r-butylamine results in formation of 4-amino-2-(/-butyl)-5-nitro-l,2,3-triazole 1-oxide 1178. However, there must be some additional side products in the reaction mixture, as the isolated yield of compound 1178 is only 17%. Upon treatment with trifluoroperacetic acid, the r-butyl group is removed. The obtained triazole system can exist in two tautomeric forms, 1179 and 1180 however, the 1-oxide form 1179 is strongly favored (Scheme 195) <2003CHE608>.
