Abstract
The photochemical reaction of N-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (MeTAD) with benzene is known to lead to a Diels–Alder cycloaddition product when conducted at low temperatures (i.e., <−60 °C). This reactivity has been exploited recently for novel synthetic applications. It was previously reported that no reaction [...] Read more.
The photochemical reaction of N-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (MeTAD) with benzene is known to lead to a Diels–Alder cycloaddition product when conducted at low temperatures (i.e., <−60 °C). This reactivity has been exploited recently for novel synthetic applications. It was previously reported that no reaction between MeTAD and benzene occurs at room temperature. However, it has now been discovered that MeTAD reacts effectively with benzene upon visible light irradiation over a several day period at room temperature. The major product is a para-substituted bisurazole adduct. Our studies indicate that the adduct is formed via sequential aromatic substitution reactions made possible by electron transfer from the aromatic ring to the highly electrophilic triplet state of photoactivated MeTAD.

Abstract
The [2+2+2] cycloaddition (homo-Diels–Alder reaction) of N-substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones (TADs) with bicycloalkadienes produces strained heterocyclic compounds. A reaction with the unsubstituted dienes occurs readily to produce only the expected homo-Diels–Alder adducts. However, previous work in the literature showed that the attachment of a [...] Read more.
The [2+2+2] cycloaddition (homo-Diels–Alder reaction) of N-substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-diones (TADs) with bicycloalkadienes produces strained heterocyclic compounds. A reaction with the unsubstituted dienes occurs readily to produce only the expected homo-Diels–Alder adducts. However, previous work in the literature showed that the attachment of a single electron-withdrawing group to the diene system results in the formation of not only the expected homo-Diels–Alder adducts, but also interesting “insertion” products. To probe the limits of reactivity of these diene systems, we investigated the reaction of N-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (MeTAD) with bicycloalkadienes substituted with two electron-withdrawing groups, i.e., two carbomethoxy or two cyano groups. We hoped to learn whether the reaction still proceeded, and if so, whether the homo-Diels–Alder adducts and/or other types of products were formed. We found that a reaction between MeTAD and the dienes takes place upon substitution with two carbomethoxy groups, albeit at a considerably slower rate than other reactions. The only products observed were the homo-Diels–Alder adducts. However, attachment of two CN groups completely inhibited reactivity. Full article
