Abstract

When refluxed in 1,4-dichlorobenzene, the compound 2,4,6-triazido-3,5-dichloropyridine and its 3,5-dicyano derivative undergo selective thermolysis of the γ-azide groups, forming the corresponding 4-amino-2,6-diazidopyridines in high yields. According to quantum-chemical calculations, the selectivity of thermolysis of the γ-azide groups in triazides is due to the weaker bonding interactions between the N(α) and N(β) atoms in these azide groups.
