“…The [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadienes provides a simple and efficient pathway to obtain novel potentially bioactive 1,2,4-triazines and nonaromatic 1,2,3,4-tetrazines (Scheme ). , Thus, azoalkenes 121 , generated in situ from the α-bromohydrazone 120 upon treatment with base, were trapped by imines to give 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazines 122 , regioselectively and in good yields. 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydro-1,2,3,4-tetrazines 123 were synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-diaza-1,3-butadiene 121 with azodicarboxylic acid derivatives.…”
