A series of 1,4-di[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]- trans-2,5-dimethylpiperazines( 5a- 5m), have been synthesized by the reaction of trans-2,5-dimethylpiperazine with two equivalents of the appropriate diazonium salt. The products have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular composition has been verified by high-resolution EI mass spectrometry with accurate mass measurement of the molecular ion. The presence of stereocenters at C2 and C5 of the piperazine ring in the bis-triazene ( 5) creates two unique pairs of diastereotopic protons in the methylene groups at positions 3 and 6 of the piperazine ring, as evidenced by the complexity of the NMR spectra , which nevertheless can be fully assigned in some cases, such as the anisyl- ( 5i) and phenyl- ( 5j) derivatives. The assignment of the proton and carbon signals in the tolyl- derivative ( 5h) has been aided by the use of 2D NMR HSQC spectroscopy. These results compare favorably with assignments of proton and carbon signals reported previously for triazenes of type 1 and bis-triazenes of types 3 and 4b. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new series of bistriazenes has been synthesized from a general reaction of diazonium salts with a mixture of 1,3-diaminopentane (DYTEK® EP diamine) and formaldehyde, which affords the 4-ethyl-3-({6-ethyl-3-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl}methyl)-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]hexahydropyrimidines (1). Each of the molecules of type 1 is built up of two equivalent 3-(aryldiazenyl)-6-ethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl groups attached to a central methylene group. The importance of this study is in part due to the fact that the formaldehyde–1,3-diaminopentane system has not previously been investigated. All new compounds have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, with elemental analysis for selected compounds; one example from the series has been unequivocally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Although analysis of the NMR spectra is made somewhat difficult because of broadness and coalescence of signals due to the rotational dynamics of the N—N single bonds, it is possible to fully assign the proton spectra of all compounds and to detect 94% of all carbon signals. The fine structure within the proton spectra illustrate the diastereotopic nature of the methylene group protons because of the presence of a stereocenter in each hexahydropyrimidine ring. The general conclusion of this study is that alkanediamines with three carbon atoms in the spacer link between the nitrogen atoms give rise to the linear bicyclic molecules of type 1, 2, and 3, in contrast to the case of ethylenediamine (spacer link has two carbon atoms), which affords molecules of type 7 that exemplify the bridged bicyclic bistriazene structure. The new compounds of series 1 represent an extension of a broad ranging study of the synthesis of new bistriazene derivatives of (1,x)-diazacycloalkanes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A series of 1,4-di-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-2-methylpiperazines (4a–n) have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-methylpiperazine with 2 equiv. of the appropriate diazonium salt. The products have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular composition has been verified by HR-EIMS, with accurate mass measurement of the molecular ion. The presence of a chiral centre at C2 of the piperazine ring in the bistriazene 4 creates a multitude of diastereotopic protons in the methylene groups of the piperazine ring, as evidenced by the complexity of the NMR spectra, which nevertheless can be fully assigned in some cases, such as the tolyl- (4h) and phenyl- (4j) derivatives. These two compounds also show a discrimination between the two N-arydiazenyl groups, as evidenced by the doubling of several aromatic-carbon signals in the 13C NMR spectra. The assignment of the proton and carbon signals in 4h and 4j has been aided by the use of 2D NMR spectroscopy. A DEPT spectrum of 4j clearly discriminates the methylene carbons and also indicates the methine carbons of the piperazine ring. COSY spectra provide clear information about the interactions between diastereotopic protons; when these results are combined with the results of HSQC spectroscopy, the proton and carbon signals can be fully correlated, leading to an unequivocal assignment of the proton and carbon atoms of the piperazine ring. The HSQC spectrum of 4j also gives a complete correlation of the aromatic-proton and -carbon signals. These results compare favorably with the previously reported assignments of proton and carbon signals for triazenes of type 1 and bistriazenes of type 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
