N-acyltriazinedione; a novel acylating reagent synthesized from a triazinone-type condensing reagent

Abstract

In this paper, we report the synthesis of N-acyltriazinedione via the unexpected O–N acyl rearrangement of acyloxytriazinone and its utility as an acylating reagent. N-Acyltriazinedione can be isolated by silica gel column chromatography and reacts with amines in the absence of any base to give the corresponding amides in good yields.
