L,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones

Dihydropyridines 8 react with dienophiles such as A -phenyl maleimide (2) and l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione 9 to give the Diels-Alder adducts 10 and 11, respectively (76JHC481). Fowler observed that when a mixture of 1,2- and 1,4-dihydropyridines was treated with maleic anhydride (12), only 1,2-dihydro-pyridines yielded the Diels-Alder adducts 13, whereas the 1,4-dihydropyridines showed no reactivity with 12 (72JOC1321) (Scheme 1). 

The product 18 does not give a Diels Alder adduct with 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione, indicating the absence of its bicyclic tautomer. 

Gleiter and Ginsburg found that 4-substituted-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione reacted with the propellanes 36 and 37 at the syn face of the cyclohexadiene with respect to the hetero-ring. They ascribed the selectivity to the secondary orbital interaction between the orbitels (LUMO) of 36 and 37 with antisymmetrical combination of lone pair orbitals (HOMO ) of the triazolinediones (Scheme 24) [29]. 

The values of X = NH, OH, F, Cl, and CH3 are smaller than that of X = H, in accordance with the observed selectivity. Excellent correlation was found for all other cyclopentadienes described above. Syn rr-facial selectivity in the reactions between 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione and cyclopentadiene having simple alkyl group at 5 positions are reported by Burnell and coworkers [46] (Scheme 37). 

When the thiiranoradialene sulphoxide 568 was treated with an equimolar amount of4-substituted l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones 569, the adducts 570 were formed in quantitative yields " (equation 363). 

The low temperature ene reactions of 4-substituted-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones (RTD) were used to modify polydiene surfaces. Hydrophilic surfaces (contact angles with water of 30-50°) were obtained on polybutadiene, poly-isoprene and styrene-butadiene copolymers by first treating the polymer at room temperature with RTD (R=Ph,... 

Of particular interest to us was to find a method to surface modify elastomers. G. B. Butler and co-workers have demonstrated that 4-substituted-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones, RTDs, readily undergo ene reactions with polydienes at ambient temperatures (13). They found that the solubility and solution properties of the modified...

Dipolar cycloaddition of pyrido[2,l-A][l,3]thiazinium betaine 507 (R = Me) with 1-diethylamino-l-propyne afforded cycloadduct 508, from which quinolizin-4-one 509 formed by a rapid cheletropic extrusion of COS (Scheme 53) <1995T6651>. 1,4-Dipolar cycloaddition of 507 and 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione yielded 511 (via 510) <1995H(41)1631> and 512 <1995T6651>. 

Electrocyclic reactions have been performed with three of the bridged [ 11 Jan-nulenones. Both 11 and 13, which both contain a cycloheptatriene unit, undergo Diels-Alder additions with dienophiles via their norcaradiene valence tautomers 41 and 43 and yield adducts of the type 42 and 44. Annulenone 13 was found to react only with 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione whilst 11 underwent reaction with a variety of dienophiles. 3,8-Methano[ 11 Jannulenone 12 contains a tetraene system and undergoes addition reactions, apparently of the (8 + 2)-type, at the termini of the tetraene system. Thus with maleic anhydride the adduct 46, the valence tautomer of the initial adduct 45, was isolated. 

The reaction of 4-methyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione 428 with tetracyclopropylethylene gives 5,5,6,6-tetracyclopropyl-3-methyl-5,6-dihydro-oxazolo[3,2-A][l,2,4]triazolium-2-olate 140 (unreported yield) (Equation 89) <2004JA700>.

Coupling of excess (Z)-l,2-dichloroethene (217) with propargyl alcohol first led to the enyne 218, which, when subjected to a second Pd-catalyzed coupling step with trimethylsilylacetylene, provided the mixed diacetylene 219. With all carbon atoms assembled, the allene function was generated by first producing the (unprotected) hydrazine derivative 220, which on treatment with either diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) or 4-methyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (MTAD) under anaerobic conditions at 0 °C yielded the hydrocarbon 27. According to mechanistic studies, the latter process leads first to a mixture of ( )- and (Z)-diazenes. Sigmatropic elimination of... 

The most powerful azo dienophile is the cisoid 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione 264, which is surpassed in reactivity only by singlet oxygen. The dione adds rapidly to all types of dienes and the process can be followed visually since the bright-red color of the reagent is discharged when the reaction is complete136. 

The optical resolution of the rigid racemic 1,2,3-trimethylcyclooctatetraene 277a, which exists in equilibrium with a small amount of the valence isomer 277b, was accomplished by means of (—)-ewdo-bornyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione 278. The diastereomeric mixture... 

The (diphenylmethylene)aminocyclobutenecarboxylates 109 obtained by rearrangement of the DMPA-H adducts of 1-Me, 2-Me, contain a 2-azadiene unit and a cyclobutene moiety. Indeed, the parent compound 109 a reacted with 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD, [80]) at room temperature in a [4-1-2] cycloaddition mode to yield the tricyclic tetraazaundecene 132 in almost quantitative yield (Scheme 44) [8]. As substituted cyclobutenes, compounds 109 should be capable of opening up to the corresponding butadienes [1, 2b, 811. When compounds 109 were subjected to flash vacuum pyrolysis, the dihydro-isoquinolines 135 were obtained, presumably via the expected ring-opened intermediates 133, which subsequently underwent bn electrocyclization followed by a 1,5-shift, as is common for other 3-aza-l,3,5-hexatrienes [82].

Phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione has been prepared by oxidizing 4-phenylurazole with lead dioxide,7 and with ammoni-acal silver nitrate followed by an ethereal solution of iodine.8 The yields are low for both methods. 4-Substituted triazoline-diones can also be made by oxidation of the corresponding urazole with fuming nitric acid9 or dinitrogen tetroxide.10 Oxidation by <-butyl hypochlorite in acetone solution has also been described 1112 it, however, yields an unstable product, even after sublimation. Either dioxane12 or ethyl acetate are preferred as solvents for the reaction, since the product is obtained in a stable form. The latter solvent is superior since... 

In common with other azodicarboxylic acid derivatives, the uses of 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione are many. It undergoes a Diels-Alder reaction with most dienes11-14 and is, in fact, the most reactive dienophile so far reported.15 16 As with the formation of all Diels-Alder adducts the reaction is reversible, and in the case of the adduct with 3-j3-acetoxy-17-cyano-5,14,16-androstatriene, the reverse reaction can be made to proceed under especially mild conditions.14 An instance has also been reported of the dione photochemically catalyzing other retro Diels-Alder reactions.17 Along with the proven use of azodicarboxylic ester,18-18 the dione should be potentially important in the preparation of strained ring compounds. 

Phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione also undergoes addition-abstraction reactions (e.g., with acetone17). As would be expected for such a species, it will oxidize alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones.20 This oxidation is especially mild (room temperature in benzene, chlorobenzene or ethyl acetate) and so is a valuable method of oxidizing, or preparing, compounds sensitive to acid, base, or heat.
