Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.1 g (0.0040 mole) of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione in 5 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide was added to a stirred mixture of 0.11 g (0.0045 mole) of sodium hydride in 10 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide. After 0.5 hour, 0.63 g (0.0045 mole) of iodomethane in 5 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide was added, and the resultant mixture was stirred for approximately 18 hours. The mixture was poured into water and the resulting precipitate was collected and dissolved in ethyl acetate. The organic solution was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to leave a solid. The solid was purified by recrystallization from heptane to yield 0.52 g of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione (mp 109°-110° C.), Compound 5 in the tables.
