Abstract

Novel triazinone-based condensing reagents have been developed. The palladium-catalyzed O-N allylic rearrangement of 2-(allyloxy)-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine and subsequent regioselective substitution using alcohols and an amine afforded chlorotriazinones, which can be readily converted using N-methylmorpholine into the corresponding condensing reagents. The condensation of carboxylic acids and amines using these reagents proceeded to afford the desired amides in good yields. In comparison with 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride, the newly synthesized triazinone-based condensing reagents exhibited higher reactivity.
