3- Methoxy-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine 1 -oxide

The methoxy group is replaced in the reaction of 3-methoxy-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine 1-oxide 46 with ammonia, resulting in 3-amino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine 1-oxide 47. The treatment of 3-methoxy-1,2,4-triazine 1-oxide 20 with hydrazine leads to 3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazine 1-oxide 48 (71JOC787). 

The reaction of 3-methoxy-1,2,4-triazine 1-oxide 20 with the carbanion generated from chloromethyl phenyl sulfone proceeds as the vicarious nucleophilic substitution (VNS) of hydrogen (Scheme 1, path B) via addition of the carbanion at position 5 of the heterocycle. Following base-induced elimination of HCl and protonation, 3-methoxy-5-phenylsulfonyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides 65 result (88LA627).
