Abstract: 3,6-Dimethyl-1,6-dihydro-S-tetrazine reacts with phenyl isocyanate over different catalysts to afford different products. When using N,N-dimethylaniline as the catalyst, N-phenyl-1,6-dihydro-3,6-dimethyl-S-tetrazine-1-cabonamide was obtained; when using 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as the catalyst, the new kind of compound was obtained. Using 14 different substituted phenyl isocyanates, 14 new compounds were prepared with a low or medial yield. The structure of compound 3i was determined by X-ray crystal analysis as N,N′-di(o-methylphenyl)-3,6-dimethyl-1,4-dicarbonamide. It shows that the catalytical rearrangement occurred. The mechanism was discussed briefly with aid of 1H NMR results. The anticancer activity of these new compounds were tested in vitro. And the results show that some of them have good bioactivity.
