SYNTHESIS AND CLEAVAGE OF 1,3,7-TRIAZAPYRENE ETHERS

Abstract

Oxidative alkoxylation of 1,3,7-triazapyrenes in the system ROH–H₂O–KOH–K₃Fe(CN)₆ leads via a tandem S_N^H–S_N^H process to the formation of 6,8-dialkoxy-1,3,7-triazapyrenes. Hydrolytic cleavage of these ethers leads to products of single or double dealkylation, depending on the reaction conditions.
