Aliphatic amines are used as powerful electron donators in electrontransfer reactions of electronically excited aromatic amines. In triazines the LUMO energy is decreased compared to benzene, therefore these electron-poor compounds are easily reduced and the corresponding radical anions are stabilized. Aromatic 1,2,4-triazines and 1,2,3-triazines were irradiated in aprotic triethylamine and protic diethylamine as well as in dimethylammonium dimethylcarbamate (Dimcarb). The reduction products of 1,2,4-triazines are mostly dihydroderivates (resembling the products of Birch-reduction) and products of ring contraction. Ringcontractions in turn require the transfer of four reduction equivalents and may involve the loss of ammonia. The photolysis of the two investigated 1,2,3-triazines causes loss of dinitrogen. In one case the irradiation furnishes the product after loss of dinitrogen, in an other case the irradiation amount three products of fragmentation, however also a pyrazol. This demonstrates that the strong reducing conditions allow to override this fragmentation to a small extent. All trazine conversions depend on the nature of the amine, on amine concentration an on light intensity. The reactive state of the investigated 1,2,4-triazines may be the lowest triplet, as confirmed by phospherescence and T-T absorption spectroscopy.
