The first and second protonations of annelated azoloazines have been investigated quantitatively in aqueous solution. Compounds investigated were pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (pKBH+ 0.03±0.02, pKBH2+ ‑7.87±0.30), 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]-1,2,4-triazine (pKBH+ -0.04±0.02, pKBH2+ -8.00±0.10), 1,2,4‑triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (pKBH+ 0.21±0.03, pKBH2+ -9.00±0.09) and its 6R derivatives (R = NO2, Br, Cl). The annelated azoloazines studied are weaker bases than their unannelated analogs. According to quantum chemical calculations (AM1), protonation of these heterocycles may occur both at the azole and the azine fragments of the molecule.
