Mj. Arevalo et al., Expeditious formation of 1,2,4-triazine derivatives via a thioisomunchnonecycloaddition reaction, TETRAHEDR L, 40(49), 1999, pp. 8675-8678
A novel type of heterocyclization reaction involving the [3+2] cycloadditio
n of N,N-dialkylamino-substituted thioisomunchnones with azodicarboxylates
gives rise to 1,2,4-triazine derivatives after a selective fragmentation pa
thway of the transient cycloadducts. The X-ray analysis of 7 accounts for t
he fate of this particular transformation. An asymmetric version using chir
al carbohydrate-based thioisomunchnones has also been disclosed. (C) 1999 E
