12. General method for the preparation of 7-amino-substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]-
[1,3,5]triazin-5-amines (9c–t): Compound 14 (0.66 g, 2.0 mmol) was added to a
solution of the appropriate amine (2.5 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) and the mixture
was heated at 70–80 °C with stirring for 2–5 h. After cooling, ice-cold water
(40 ml) was added and the product was filtered and recrystallized from a
suitable solvent (Table 1).
