Saturate concentrates, ring-number

This chapter describes the chemistry of the simple, nonfused 1,2,4-triazoles including those triazoles annelated by a saturated ring. A resume of the most important points discussed by Polya in the corresponding chapter in the first edition of Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry (CHEC-I) <84CHEC-1(5)733> has been made and a substantial number of the earlier references have been retained, but this account will concentrate on those advances that have been made in this area since the early 1980s. A comprehensive review of 1,2,4-triazole was published in 1981 <8lHC(37)l>. 

The third is partial or total reduction of an aromatic ring. Any catalogue lists a vast number of available substituted benzene rings. Saturated compound 8 can obviously be made by total reduction of 9 but it may not be obvious that partial reduction (Birch) allows the enone 11 also to be made from 9. Birch reduction is the only new method here so we shall revise the Robinson and the Diels-Alder and concentrate on Birch. 

The experimental data on the attainment of the minimum interfacial tension, i.e., the same criterion as optimum formulation for the three-phase behavior at low surfactant concentration, showed the equivalence of linear and cyclic hydrocarbons [29]. Figure 13 shows that the EACN of alkylbenzene hydrocarbons is equal to the number of carbons of their alkyl group, while the EACN of alkyl cyclohexanes is equal to the number of carbon atoms in their alkyl group plus 3. Thus it can be said that a saturated cycle with six carbons is equivalent to a three-carbon linear chain, while the benzene ring does not bring any additional lipophilicity.
