Application

4-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) can be used as an efficient and selective reagent for the oxidation of thiols to disulfides.
It can also be used:       
  • As a dehydrogenating agent to synthesize annulated dihydropyridazines by inverse [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between cyclic alkenes and 1,2,4,5-tetrazines.       
  • As a dienophile to synthesize cycloaddition products by fast hetero-Diels−Alder reactions.       
  • As an efficient oxidizing agent for the synthesis of pyridine derivatives from 1,4-dihydropyridines.
  • In the synthesis of urazoles via [3+2] cycloaddition with allylsilanes.

A detailed examination of [4+2] cycloaddition reactions between 1,8-disubstituted cyclooctatetraenes and diazo compounds revealed that 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione (PTAD) reacts to form either 2,3- or 3,4-disubstituted adducts. The product distribution can be controlled by modulating the electron density of the cyclooctatetraene. Unprecedented

Low levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) during early development is associated with a range of adverse health outcomes. While a number of methods exist to measure 25OHD in sera, none have been specifically developed to examine dried blood spots

The utility of Diels-Alder derivatization with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) for liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) was examined. PTAD rapidly reacted with the CLAs, and the resulting derivatives were highly responsive in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
