The new N,N,O-ligand 6-phenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-5-(trifluoroacetylmethylidene)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine (L) was synthesized, and its complex with CuII was prepared. The structure of the complex was established by X-ray diffraction. Magnetic measurements and ESR studies were carried out. Ab initio calculations of the electronic structure, exchange interactions, and the effective magnetic moment were performed. The intrastack polarization effect between the π states of 1,2,4-triazine and the d states of copper was revealed and numerically validated.

An efficient strategy for the synthesis of new pyridine and 1,2,4-triazine derivatives starting from available 6-aryl-3-chloromethyl-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides was proposed. The deoxygenative nucleophilic hydrogen substitution in the triazine-oxide ring, nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom in the side chain, and transformations of the 1,2,4-triazine ring into the pyridine ring via the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions, being used in different orders, are a rather flexible tool for the functionalization of the titled heterocycles. The cyanide anion, indoles, thiophenols, amines, and triphenylphosphine were used as nucleophiles. The direct introduction of indole residues into the 1,2,4-triazine ring followed by the substitution of the chlorine atom by a residue of the primary or secondary aliphatic amine was found to be the most convenient method for the library synthesis.

The reactions of 1-lithia-1,2- or 1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane with 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides can follow two competitive pathways: deoxygenative nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen to form 1-(1,2,4-triazin-5-yl)-1,2- or 1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes and the transformation of the 1,2,4-triazine ring into the triazoline ring giving rise to 1-(2-acetyl-1-aroyl-3-aryl-1,2,4-triazolin-5-yl)-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes. Introduction of the electron-withdrawing triazine ring into the carborane cage substantially facilitates deboronation to give 1-(1,2,4-triazin-5-yl)-1,2-1,7-dicarba-nido-undecaboranes.

1,2,4-Triazine 4-oxides were found to enter into the reactions of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen with S-nucleophiles (arenethiols) in the presence of acylating agents and trifluoroacetic acid. The reactions proceeded with loss of the N-oxide function to form 5-arylthio-1,2,4-triazines. 2-Amino-3-ethoxycarbonylpyrazine 1-oxides and 2-amino-4-oxopterin 8-oxides react with arenethiol analogously.

Pyrimidine 1-oxides with cyanamide afforded 2-ureidopyrimidines as the result of the nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen, whereas the formation of similar 2-trichloroacetylaminopyrimidines occurs as dipolar 1,3-cycloaddition of the same oxides to trichloroacetonitrile under much more drastic conditions and in lower yields.

It was shown that cyanamide can successfully be used in reactions of nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen with 1,2,4-triazin-4-oxides in the presence of a base to give 5-cyanoimino-1,2,4-triazines. It was found by13C NMR spectroscopy that these compounds and their alkylation products at the cyclic nitrogen atom exist in the form of 5-cyanoimino-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines.
