Potassium Acetate → 2-[4-[(4-Chlorophenyl)cyanomethyl]-3-methoxyphenyl]2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazine-6-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8.3 parts of ethyl [2-[[4-[(4-chlorophenyl)cyanomethyl]-3-methoxyphenyl]hydrazono]-2-cyanoacetyl]carbamate, 1.77 parts of anhydrous potassium acetate and 100 parts of acetic acid is stirred for 2 hours at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is stirred in water. The product is filtered off and dissolved in trichloromethane. The organic layer is dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is purified by column chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (90:10 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions are collected and the eluent is evaporated in vacuo, yielding 2-[4-[(4-chlorophenyl)cyanomethyl]-3-methoxyphenyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazine-6-carbonitrile.
