Chemistry:Triazenes
thumb|200px|[[Dacarbazine is a triazene used in the treatment of melanoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma.[1]]] Triazenes are organic compounds that contain the functional group R1−NN=N−NR2R3, where the R are each any of various types of substituent groups.[2] Some anti-cancer medications and dyes are triazenes.[3] Formally, the triazenes are related to the unstable chemical triazene, H2N−N=NH.
Production
Triazenes are prepared from the N-coupling reaction between diazonium salts and primary or secondary amines.[4] The coupling reactions are typically mild, using a base such as sodium acetate,[5] sodium carbonate,[5] or sodium bicarbonate.[4]
The diazonium reagents are themselves available starting from amines. For symmetrical triazenes derived from primary amines, partial diazotization gives a mixture of the original amine and its diazo derivative that then couple with each other. For example, 1,3-diphenyltriazene (PhN=N−NHPh) can be made from aniline in a one-pot reaction.[5][6] For asymmetrical triazenes, for example (phenyldiazenyl)pyrrolidine (PhN=N−NC4H8), the diazonium salt must be pre-made.
Analogues of Tröger's base containing a symmetric pair of asymmetric triazene side-chains have been obtained similarly.[7]
Reactions and applications
Triazenes derived from primary amines engage in tautomerism. In the case of symmetric triazenes, the tautomers are identical.
Triazenes can be converted to diazonium salts.[8]
File:Triazene 1.tif Triazenes decompose in the presence of protonating or alkylating agents into quaternary amines and diazonium salts; as such triazenes have been used as an in situ source of diazonium that reacted with sodium sulfide to give the corresponding thiophenols.[5] A strategy for the protection and deprotection of sensitive secondary amines is based on this principle.[9]
Polymeric triazenes are applied as conductive and absorbent materials.[10] Triazenes have been used in the synthesis of cinnoline, functionalized lactams, and coumarins.[9][8]
