nucleophilic addition to furnish the targeted product 3a by
elimination of one molecule of ammonia.
In summary, we have developed a facile and efficient
method for the synthesis of symmetric and unsymmetric 2,4-
disubstituted-1,3,5-triazines under transition metal-free and
external oxidant-free conditions with only low toxic inorganic
wastes generated. The annulation of amidines with ethyl
bromodifluoroacetate provided a range of 1,3,5-triazines in
decent yields via multiple C-N bonds formation, in which
quadruple cleavage of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate was
achieved by cleavage of two C-F bonds, one C-Br bond and one
C-COOEt bond in one-pot. This novel reactivity of ethyl
bromodifluoroacetate for the assembly of 1,3,5-triazines is
reported for the first time. Further studies for using ethyl
bromodifluoroacetate as unique C1 synthon are underway in
our laboratory.
