Solvent-free reaction of 1,2,4-triazine-5-carbonitriles with 4-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)morpholine. Unexpected decyanation in addition to classical aza-Diels–Alder reaction

Abstract

The reaction of 1,2,4-triazine-5-carbonitriles with 4-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)morpholine under solventfree conditions has been found to follow two pathways: aza-Diels–Alder reaction and unexpected decyanation of the initial nitriles. The scope of the revealed decyanation reaction has been roughly estimated.
