Effect of substituent in pyridine-2-carbaldehydes on their heterocyclization to 1,2,4-triazines and 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides

A series of substituted pyridine-2-carbaldehydes were brought into heterocyclization with isonitrosoacetophenone hydrazones, followed by aromatization by the action of oxidants or by dehydration in boiling acetic acid. As a result, substituted 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazines or 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides were formed. 6-Formylpyridine-2-carbonitrile failed to undergo heterocyclization, 6-methylpyridine-2-carbaldehyde and methyl 6-formylpyridine-3-carboxylate can be converted to both 1,2,4-triazine and 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxide derivative, and only 1,2,4-triazine 4 oxides were obtained from 6-bromopyridine-2-carbaldehyde and 6-formyl-3-phenylpyridine-2-carbonitrile. Convenient procedures were proposed for the synthesis of some initial pyridinecarbaldehydes.

Solvent-free reaction of 3-aryl-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,2,4-triazines with 4-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)morpholine

The aza-Diels–Alder reaction of 3-aryl-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,2,4-triazines with 4-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)morpholine as dienophile was accompanied by reduction of the nitro group to amino. In the reaction of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,2,4-triazine with 4-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)morpholine, 3-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-6-yl)aniline was formed together with the cycloaddition product.

One-Pot Preparation Method of 5-Alkyl-3-(benzo)pyridyl-1,2,4-triazines

Convenient one-pot method was developed for the preparation of 5-alkyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-, 5-alkyl-3-(4-pyridyl)- or 5-alkyl-3-(quinolin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazines in up to 92% yield by condensation of hydrazones of isonitrosopropiophenone, isonitrosobutyrophenone, and isonitrosovalerophenone with aldehydes of (benzo) pyridine series with subsequent aromatization in boiling acetic acid.

One-pot non-cyanide synthesis of 1-(pyridin-2-yl)isoquinoline-3-carbonitrile by reaction of 1-phenyl-2-[6-phenyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5-yl]ethanone with 1,2-dehydrobenzene in the presence of isoamyl nitrite

The reaction of 1-phenyl-2-[6-phenyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazin-5-yl]ethanone with 1,2-dehydrobenzene generated in situ from anthranilic acid and excess isoamyl nitrite afforded in one step 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-4-phenylisoquinoline-3-carbonitrile. This reaction may be regarded as a non-cyanide method for the synthesis of 3-cyanoisoquinolines.
