5-Methoxy-1,2,3-triazine

5-Methoxy-1,2,3-triazine is a 1,2,3-triazine derivative bearing electron-donating substituent. It participates in the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions. 5-Methoxy-1,2,3-triazine readily reacts with amidines. It can be prepared from 4-methoxypyrazole.

1, 2, 3-Triazines have shown to be reactive substrates in inverse electron demand Diels-Alder strategies. Recent examples by Boger and coworkers utilize this reactive motif in the construction of highly functionalized N-containing heterocycles.

5-Methoxy-1,2,3-triazine may be used in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds.
