1H-Imidazole-2-diazonium salts in the synthesis of new benzo[e]imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-6-ols
摘要
New benzo[e]imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-6-ols were obtained by the reactions of 1H-imidazole-2-diazonium salts with cyclohexane-1,3-diones. The reaction proceeds through the formation of hydrazones, which, treated with acids, undergo intramolecular cyclization with subsequent oxidative aromatization. The nature of substituents in the imidazole fragment significantly influences the course of the transformations and the choice of optimal reaction conditions. Using dimedone as the methylene-active component allows for the formation of stable tautomeric forms stabilized by electron-withdrawing groups, particularly, by cyano groups at positions 4 and 5 of the imidazole ring.
