1 Introduction

Controlling structures using supramolecular interactions isan area of great interest in chemistry and biochemistry aswell as in crystal engineering [1, 2]. Aminotriazines havebeen used in the formation of supramolecular structuresusing hydrogen bonds [3 – 6]. The importance of these sec-ondary interactions has also been thoroughly studied [7].For instance, the interaction between cyanuric acid andmelamine [8] is well documented and the stability of theresulting complexes has been used to obtain polymers inthe solid state. Modification of the system formed by cya-nuric acid and/or melamine has allowed the synthesis oflinear polymers [9, 10], the non-covalent synthesis of nano-structures with the assembly of up to 27 components with144 hydrogen bonds [11 – 14], the chemoselective synthesisof dendrimers based on melamine [15], the construction ofmolecular tectonics from pentaerythritol derivatives [16],the preparation of electrooptic thin films by anchoring amelamine template to a cleaned glass or Si(100) substrate[17], the preparation of photoresponsive melamine – barbi-turate assemblies [18], as well as diastereoselective and

enantioselective non-covalent synthesis of melamine – bar-biturate assemblies [19].Tagged triazine libraries have also been used in forward

chemical genetics as a powerful tool for novel drug candi-dates [20 – 21]. Since the advent of combinatorial chemis-try, several triazine-based libraries have been preparedboth in solid phase and in solution [22]. An 8000-memberlibrary of trisamino and amino-oxy-1,3,5-triazines was pre-pared recently using a microwave-assisted nucleophilicsubstitution procedure with cellulose-membrane-boundmonochlorotriazines [23].Microwave-assisted organic synthesis is a high-speed

methodology with clear benefits: significant rate enhance-ments and higher product yields are usually observed [24 –28]. In several cases, the stereo- and/or regiochemical out-come of microwave-assisted reactions has been found tobe different to that observed under classical heating [29,30]. The combination of microwave-heating methodologyand combinatorial chemistry provides an increase in speedand effectiveness in the synthesis of organic compounds,advantages that cannot be achieved by conventional heat-ing methods.

of publications have described the preparation of diverselibraries using a combination of microwave and combina-torial chemistry methodologies [31 – 33].We planned the synthesis of several melamine deriva-

tives modified by attachment to azoles, in order to changethe nature of the intermolecular bonds and to allow inter-actions with other substrates. With the same purpose the

synthesis of cyanuric acid derivatives is under develop-ment. It is well known that reaction of amines with cyanu-ric chloride leads to the corresponding substitution prod-ucts. In this regard the substitution of two chloride atomsand consequently preparation of diaminotriazines occursunder mild conditions, at room temperature in the pres-ence of a base. Following this strategy we have recently de-

scribed the preparation of 2-chloro-4,6-bis-pyrazolylami-notriazines [34].In this paper we describe the synthesis both of N2,N4,N6-

tris((1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamines1 – 3 and N2,N4,N6-tris(1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolyl)-1,3,5-tria-zine-2,4,6-triamines 4 – 5 by reaction of cyanuric chloridewith the corresponding amines, and of asymmetrically sub-stituted N2-(2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-N4,N6-bis(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine 6 andN2-(3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-N4,N6-bis(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine 7 by reaction ofthe corresponding amines with N4,N6-bis(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-diamine 8 (Scheme 1).

2 Discussion

2.1 Synthesis of 1 – 7

Melamine derivatives have been usually prepared from cy-anuric chloride by sequential substitution with amines[35]; or by substitution of sulfones. [22] Recently a solvent-free procedure [36] and a microwave-assisted synthesis indioxane –Dimethylformamide (DMF) and basic condi-

tions has been described [37]. Although the first and sec-ond substitution can be performed at low temperature inthe presence of a base, the third substitution usually re-quires high temperatures and long reaction times.Derivatives 1 – 5 with symmetrical substitution patterns

were prepared by reaction of cyanuric chloride with thecorresponding amine using microwave irradiation in sol-vent-free conditions in only 10 min with moderate to highyields (42 – 62%) (Scheme 2). Six equivalents of theamine were required in order to neutralise the hydrogenchloride produced in the reaction. Similarly, derivatives6 – 7 with asymmetrical substitution patterns were pre-pared in excellent yield by reaction of N4,N6-bis(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl)-2-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-diamine8 with two equivalents of the corresponding amine. Reac-tions were performed in a focused microwave reactorwith full control of the incident power and reaction tem-perature.It is remarkable that no reaction occurs by conventional

heating under comparable reaction conditions (tempera-ture and time). In order to obtain similar yields by conven-tional heating, reactions should be performed in Tetrahy-drofuran (THF) at reflux for five days in the presence ofdiisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) as base. However, even

under these conditions the formation of hindered com-pounds such as 1, 6 and 7 does not take place under con-ventional heating.Under these conditions, reaction of N4,N6-bis(4-(1H-pyr-

azol-1-yl)phenyl)-2-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-diamine 8with a polymer-supported benzylamine [aminomethylatedpoly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene)] does not afford the de-sired trisubstituted triazine because now the mixture is notpolar enough to be heated sufficiently under microwave ir-radiation. However, on the addition of a small amount of apolar solvent such as Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (1 mL/mmol of triazine) the reaction temperature rose to 130 8Cand produced complete conversion within 10 min(Scheme 3). This result opens the possibility of using thesepolymer-supported pyrazolyltriazines in supramolecularpolymer-supported synthesis taking advantage of the pos-sible interactions through hydrogen bond and/or coordina-tion with transition metals.

2.2 Structural Determination

Melamine derivatives show restricted rotations around thetriazine – nitrogen bond. This process has been studied insolution [34, 38] as well as in the solid state using NMRspectroscopy [39]. Compounds 1 – 5 can exist in two differ-ent conformations, a symmetrical conformation a with aC3 axis and an unsymmetrical conformation b, while com-pounds 6 – 7, due to their lower symmetry, present fourconformations, a –d (Scheme 4).At 298 K the 1H-NMR spectra of compounds 1 – 7 show

broad signals for all the NMR resonances. At 223 K thetwo different conformers of compounds 1 – 5 can be de-tected (Figure 1). For compounds 6 – 7 four different con-formers are expected while the lack of symmetry compli-cates the spectra.

At high temperature (363 – 393 K), a rapid rotation ofthe triazine – amino bond was observed and the NMR sig-nals could be assigned (Table 1). The only exception wascompound 4 that shows very broad signals in all solvents(CDCl3, DMF-d7, DMSO-d6) and along the whole range oftemperatures used (223 – 393 K). This effect can be ascri-bed to the presence of several tautomers due to the conju-gation of the pyrazole C¼N double bond with the NHgroup.Assignment of the NMR signals to the conformers was

performed at low temperature (Table 2), in symmetricallysubstituted compounds 1 – 5, considering the differentsymmetry of conformers a and b; in unsymmetrically sub-stituted compounds 6 – 7, the NMR spectra at low temper-ature were too complicated to assign the NMR signals tothe four different conformers.This permitted to determine the ratio of conformers. It

is remarkable that this ratio depends not only on the sub-stitution of the triazine ring but also on the solvent andtemperature, conformer a being favoured in apolar solventand at high temperature (Table 3).

2.3 Dynamic Behaviour of Compounds 1 –3 and 5

Using Dynamic NMR (DNMR) spectroscopy we studiedthe restricted rotation of triazines 1 – 3, 5. Multisite sys-tems that are not amenable to study by conventional meth-ods can be studied by 2D Exchange Spectroscopy (2DEXSY). More recently 1D-EXSY techniques have alsobeen introduced [40] as well as the application of Diffu-sion-ordered Spectroscopy (DOSY) for exchange [41]. Inthis work we used 1D- and 2D-EXSY techniques for thedetermination of the activation free energy of this process.In a first experiment 0.8 – 1-s mixing time was found to

be optimum. A second experiment with a 0.02-s mixing

49 – 79 kJ mol�1 and they were determined in a wide rangeof temperatures (203 – 298 K); the representation of DG‡

tion occurs by conventional heating. The procedure wasadapted for the preparation of polymer-supported tria-zines with applications in combinatorial chemistry insupramolecular polymer-supported synthesis.The structures were determined in solution using NMR

spectroscopy. Conformers resulting from the restricted ro-tation about the amino – triazine bond were detected andidentified in solution and at low temperatures. The re-stricted rotation was studied by 1D and 2D EXSY. A plotof the calculated activation free energies versus tempera-ture showed a good correlation coefficient, indicating thata unique and similar process occurred in all the present tri-azines.The present study shows the interest of microwave irra-

diation and solvent-free conditions in organic synthesisand especially for preparing sterically hindered com-pounds. Also the importance of determining the molecularstructure in solution in order to gain an insight into possi-ble supramolecular interactions was shown.

4. Experimental Section

4.1 Apparatus

Microwave-assisted reactions were performed in a mono-mode microwave reactor PROLABO MAXIDIGESTMX350, modified with a mechanical stirrer and an infraredpyrometer. Incident power and temperature were control-led by computer using the software MPX-2 from PACAMElectronica. Melting points were determined using a SMP-3 melting-point apparatus and are uncorrected. The IRspectra were obtained with an FT-IR Nicolet-550 spectro-photometer. The mass spectra (electrospray ionisationmode, ESIþ ) were recorded on a HPLC-MSD flow-injec-tion analysis apparatus. Flash column chromatography wasperformed on silica gel 60 (Merck, 230 – 400 mesh).NMR spectra were recorded on a VARIAN INNOVA

500 spectrometer operating at 499.791 MHz for protonspecroscopy. Spectra were recorded at the temperature in-

dicated (�0.1 K) with a probe calibrated with methanol.The standard VARIAN pulse sequence was used (VNMR6.1B software). Samples were prepared by dissolving thetriazine (0.25 mmol) in DMF-d7, DMSO-d6 and CDCl3(0.6 mL) under argon atmosphere.The 2D exchange spectra (EXSY) were acquired in the

phase-sensitive mode using the States –Haberkorn meth-od [44]. Typically, a 3.1 kHz spectral width, 16 transients of2048 data points were collected for each 400 t1 increments.A 1-s relaxation delay, an 11-s (908) pulse width and a0.165-s acquisition time were used. The free induction de-cays were processed with square cosine-bell filters in bothdimensions and zero filling was applied prior to doubleFourier transition.The 1D exchange spectra (EXSY) were acquired using

the standard 1D NOESY pulse sequence with 512 transi-ents, a 0.8-s relaxation delay and a 1.892-s acquisition time.Determination of the kinetic parameters required two

experiments with mixing times of 1 s (optimised) for theexchange experiment and 0.02 s for the non-exchangespectra, respectively. The cross peak/diagonal ratio was de-termined by integrating the volume under the peaks.
