We have already shown that the 1,3,5-triazine-PPA* system is useful for the acylation and formylation of perimidines [2] and the synthesis of 1,2,3,7-tetraazapyrenes from 1H-naphtho [1,8-de][1,2,3]triazine (1,2,3-triazaphenalene) [3]. The present study is a continuation of our investigation of the synthetic scope of this system. The reaction of this system with 6(7)-acylperimidines 1a-c and 1e and 6(7)-formylperimidine (1d) was studied in present work.Since perimidines [2] and 1,2,3-triazaphenalene [3] undergo, in effect, double electrophilic attack by the system of 1,3,5-triazines 2 in PPA, we might have assumed that perimidines 1 would react analogously. Indeed, 1,3,7-triazapyrenes 3a-d were obtained in 50-65% yield upon heating 1a-d with 1,3,5-triazine (2a) in PPA.
