The concept of nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen in heterocycles (SNH) has been successfully used for the derivatisation of a number of azaaromatics in numerous publications. The reactivity of azaaromatics increases with the number of aza groups in the ring and with addition of a substituent at the ring nitrogens. In this connection, 1,2,3-triazines are a very interesting heterocyclic system. Due to the vicinal position of the nitrogen atoms in the ring system, 1,2,3-triazines are easily attacked by nucleophiles. An electrophilic attack at the ring nitrogens should lead to 1,2,3-triazinium salts, which are supposed to be very reactive even towards weak nucleophiles. This work describes the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazinium salts through protonation, acylation, alkylation, phenylation, reaction to 2-dicyanomethylylides and N-oxides and their reactivity towards C-nucleophiles. Especially the regioselectivity of the primary electrophilic and the following nucleophilic attack is studied. Furthermore the 1,2,3-triazinium salts were used in Diels-Alder reactions and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. It was shown, that 1,2,3-triazinium salts are highly reactive against even very weak C-nucleophiles, that they react regioselective and that the isolation of stable 2,5-dihydro adducts is possible. 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions led to pyrazolo[2.1-a]-1,2,3-triazines and pyrazolo[1.2-b]-1,2,3-triazines, two unknown class of heterocycles. | English |
