“…The Kabachnik-Fields reaction using 3,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (146), acetaldehyde and diethyl phosphite in THF in the presence of sodium hydride as a catalyst led to only one isomer of 1,2,4-triazino [4,3-b] [1,2,4,5]triazaphosphinine derivative 148. The reaction occurred by condensation of NH2 at position 4 that is more basic than NH2 at position 3, with acetaldehyde followed by addition of diethyl phosphite then cyclization by removing one molecule of ethanol (Scheme 44) [2].…”
