Abstract

The synthesis of monosubstituted 1,2,3-triazinium salts 7-9 and their reactivity towards C-nucleophiles is described. The nucleophilic attack at 7-9 is regioselective at position 5, isolation of dihydroproducts was possible and an unusual ring contraction was observed.

Ab initio calculations done with Gaussian 94 [12] with standard basic set 6-311G*, geometries were optimized on HF/6-31G* level and characterized as minima by vibrational frequency analysis (number of imaginary frequencies = zero for minima). These provided the zero-point vibrational energies (ZPEs) which were scaled for the calculation of relative energies by an empirical factor of 0.89. [13]
