A solution of tetr azine 2h (206 mg, 1 mmol) and 4 chloroacetophenone (155 mg, 1 mmol) in MeCN (5 mL) was exposed to microwave radiation for 15 min at 55 С (TLC control). The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was washed with MeCN. The yield was 309 mg (90%), m.p. 184 C. Found (%): С, 52.29; Н, 4.33; N, 32.55. C 15 H 15 ClN 8 .

Found (%): С, 47.49; Н, 4.10; N, 29.96. C 11 H 11 ClN 6 O. Calculated (%): С, 47.41; Н, 3.98; N, 30.15.Synthesis of 3 amino 6 [2 (1 R ethyliden)hydrazino] 1,2,4,5 tetrazines (8b,c,e, 9b-e) (general procedure). An amine (5 mmol) was added to a solution of hydrazone 6 (1 mmol) in MeCN (10 mL). The reaction mixture was kept for 3-5 h (TLC control) with stirring and heating (70-80 С) and cooled to ~20 C. The precipitate was filtered off and recrystallized from acetonitrile. 6 [2 (1 Phenylethyliden)hydrazino] 3 (4 pyridylethylami no) 1,2,4,5 tetrazine (8b). The yield was 200 mg (60%), m.p. 210 C. Found (%): С, 61.16; Н, 5.37; N, 33.79. C 17 H 18 N 8 . Calculated (%): C, 61.06; H, 5.43; N, 33.51. 3 {2 [1 (4 Methoxyphenyl)ethyliden]hydrazino} 6 (4 pyrid ylethylamino) 1,2,4,5 tetrazine (8c).
