1.3.5- Triazines, halogenation

Triazines. The most commercially important ttia2ine is 2,4,6-ttichloro-j -ttia2ine [108-77-0] (cyanutic chloride, (99)). Cyanutic chloride has not achieved prominence because of its value as part of a chromogen but because of its use for attaching dyestuffs to cellulose, ie, as a reactive group (see Dyes, reactive). This innovation was first introduced by ICl in 1956, and since then other active halogen compounds have been introduced. 

Mono-substitution occurs most readily in the stepwise replacement of the halogen substituents of 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine with aqueous methanol and sodium bicarbonate (30°, 30 min), the monomethoxy derivative (324) is obtained on heating (65°, 30 min), the disubstitu-ted derivative is formed and on brief heating (65°) with the more basic sodium carbonate or methanolic sodium hydroxide (25°, 3 hr) complete methoxylation (320) occurs. Ethanolic ethoxide (25°, 1 hr) or sodium carbonate (35°) is sufficient to give complete ethoxy-dechlorination. The corresponding phenoxy derivatives are obtained on treatment with one (0°), two (15°, 1 hr), or three equivalents (25-70°, 3 hr) of various sodium phenoxides in aqueous acetone. The stepwise reaction with phenols, alcohols, or thiols proceeds in better yield in organic solvents (acetone or chloroform) with collidine or 2,6-lutidine as acid acceptors than in aqueous sodium bicarbonate. ... 

The presence of an TV-oxide group activates the 1,2,4-triazine ring toward electrophilic attack, for instance, in halogenation reactions. Thus, 3-methoxy- and 3-amino(alkylamino)-1,2,4-triazine 1-oxides 16 react easily with chlorine or bromine to form the corresponding 6-halo-1,2,4-triazine 1-oxides 17 (77JOC3498, 78JOC2514). 

The halogenation of 3-methoxy- or 3-methyl(dimethyl)amino-1,2,4-triazine 2-oxides 18 was found to proceed in a similar manner, resulting in 6-halo-1,2,4-triazine 2-oxides 19 (77JOC3498, 78JOC2514). 

The treatment of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine 2-oxides 1 or 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotri-azine 1-oxides 29 with nitrous acid proceeds as a diazotization reaction, but the diazo compounds have never been isolated owing to the easy displacement of the di-azo group with nucleophiles. Thus the reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine 2-oxides 1 with sodium nitrite in hydrochloric or hydrobromic acids leads to the corresponding 3-halogen-1,2,4-tiiazine 2-oxides 119 or 3-bromo-l,2,4-benzotriazine 1-oxides 120 (77JOC546, 82JOC3886). 

Halogen exchange in a flow system was necessary in order to reduce decomposition and improve yields for trifluoro-l,2,4-triazines [82JCS-(Pl)1251] and -1,2,3-triazines (88T2583). 

Peroxides oxidize N,N-DPDD to Wurster s red, a semiquinone diimine derivative [4]. Similarly Wurster s red is also produced from N,N-DPDD by reaction with halogen-containing substances in the presence of sodium ethylate and UV light and by reaction with the chlorinated triazines produced by reaction with chlorine [7]. 

Peroxides oxidize TPDD to Wurster s blue, a product with a semiquinone diimine structure [1]. Similarly Wurster s blue is also produced from TPDD by reaction with halogen-containing substances produced by the reaction of aromatic amines and triazines with chlorine gas.

Reactive halogen crosslinkers are mainly specific for sulfhydryl groups at physiological pH, however at more alkaline pH values they can readily cross-react with amines and the imidazole nitrogens of histidine residues. Some reactivity with hydroxyl-containing compounds also may be realized, particularly with dichloro-s-triazine derivatives under alkaline conditions. 

An 8000-member library of trisamino- and aminooxy-l,3,5-triazines has been prepared by use of highly effective, microwave-assisted nucleophilic substitution of polypropylene (PP) or cellulose membrane-bound monochlorotriazines. The key step relied on the microwave-promoted substitution of the chlorine atom in monochlorotriazines (Scheme 12.7) [35]. Whereas the conventional procedure required relatively harsh conditions such as 80 °C for 5 h or very long reaction times (4 days), all substitution reactions were found to proceed within 6 min, with both amines and solutions of cesium salts of phenols, and use of microwave irradiation in a domestic oven under atmospheric reaction conditions. The reactions were conducted by applying a SPOT-synthesis technique [36] on 18 x 26 cm cellulose membranes leading to a spatially addressed parallel assembly of the desired triazines after cleavage with TFA vapor. This concept was later also extended to other halogenated heterocycles, such as 2,4,6-trichloropyrimidine, 4,6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine, and 2,6,8-trichloro-7-methylpurine, and applied to the synthesis of macrocyclic peptidomimetics [37]. 

Halogenations of pyrazolo[3,2-d[l,2,4]triazines and pyrazolo[2,3- ][l,3,5]triazines have been published during the past period and carried out with A-bromo- and iV-iodosuccinimide, as shown in Scheme 18. All of these transformations result in halogenation in position 3. 

The s-triazine ring is unique amongst the six-membered nitrogen heterocycles in possessing three electronegative atoms ideally placed to provide the necessary activation of the halogen atoms attached to the adjacent carbon atoms. Calculations of charge... 

Nucleophilic substitution with heteroaryl halides is a particularly useful and important reaction. Due to higher reactivity of heteroaryl halides (e.g. 35, equation 24) in nucleophilic substitution these reactions are widely employed for synthesis of Al-heteroaryl hydroxylamines such as 36. Nucleophilic substitution of halogen or sulfonate functions has been performed at positions 2 and 4 of pyridine , quinoline, pyrimidine , pyridazine, pyrazine, purine and 1,3,5-triazine systems. In highly activated positions nucleophilic substitutions of other than halogen functional groups such as amino or methoxy are also common.
