M2+ and Ln3+-catalyzed synthesis of a [1,2,4]triazine core via intramolecular C–H/N–H functionalization and C–N bond formation (M = Mn, Zn, Cd; Ln = Dy, Tb)†
Abstract
A novel approach for the direct synthesis of a 1,2,4-triazine core starting from eight azo conjugated aromatic compounds, 5-azo-(1,2,4-triazolyl) salicylic acid, 5-azo-(3-methyl-1,2,4-triazolyl) salicylic acid, 5-azo-(3-carboxyl-1,2,4-triazolyl) salicylic acid, 5-azo-(1,2-pyrazolyl) salicylic acid, 4-azo-(1,2,4-triazolyl) phenol, 4-azo-(3-carboxyl-1,2,4-triazolyl) phenol, 4-azo-(1,2-pyrazolyl) phenol, and 5-azo-(1,2,4-triazolyl) acetylsalicylic acid, via transition or lanthanide metal catalyzed intramolecular C–H/N–H functionalization and C–N bond formation has been developed under one-step hydrothermal synthetic conditions.
