The present invention relates to triazine compounds and a process for preparation thereof. Particularly, the present invention relates to triazine compounds which are useful for screening of kinases and other related targets. More particularly, the present invention relates to the process for the preparation of novel triazine compounds.
In the past decade, researcher's efforts focused at the discovery of therapeutically useful inhibitors of protein kinases have been intensified. These efforts have resulted in the identification of a variety of templates which, depending upon the nature of attached substituents, provide selective inhibition both within and across different protein kinase families. One such effort led to the discovery of pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine nucleus as a novel kinase inhibitor template which effectively mimics the well-known quinazoline kinase inhibitor scaffold, which has been serving a core template for a variety of ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors.
Thus, the current trend of research is now focused on novel analogs of pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine so as to provide potent biochemical inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase activity. There is ample literature available on synthesis of novel pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine molecules.

According to preferred aspect, N-aminated ethyl 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (6) is prepared by adding aqueous sodium hypochlorite at room temperature to a vigorously stirred mixture of ethyl 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate in Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), ammonium chloride, methyltrioctylammonium chloride (Aliquat-336), aqueous NaOH and aqueous NH4OH. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional 2-4 h at the end of which, the complete disappearance of starting material and formation of product is observed by capillary GC and HPLC. The upper product-rich organic layer was separated from the spent aqueous layer and washed with aqueous Na2S2O3. The organic layer is then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo to produce N-aminated ethyl 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (6). The N-amination of indole-2-carboxylate, pyrrole-2-carboxylate and their derivatives according to the invention has been achieved using chloramine, which is generated in the aqueous layer through oxidation of ammonia by NaOCl. At the same time, the substrate is deprotonated in the organic phase methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) with the addition of a small amount of methyltrioctylammonium chloride (Aliquat-336), which promptly reacts with the small portion of chloramines present in the organic layer, affording the desired N—NH2 derivative in high yields.

The resulting mixture is stirred for 12-14 h at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture is poured into cold water and further diluted with ethyl acetate. The layers are separated and the aqueous layer is repeatedly extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers are dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The solvents are removed under reduced pressure to give the crude product mixture as colorless solid. Silica gel column chromatography of the crude product using petroleum ether/EtOAc (3:1) as eluent gave (38) as a colorless crystalline solid.
