Benzoylacetone → HCID 14155100, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 20.6 g (100 mmol) of 3-amino-5-benzylthio-1,2,4-triazole and 16.2 g (100 mmol) of benzoyl acetone in 100 ml of glacial acetic acid was heated at reflux for 14 hours. The solvent was removed by evaporation at reduced pressure and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel (HPLC) eluting with EtOAc-hexane (3:7, v/v) to afford 4.81 g (14%) of 2-benzylthio-7-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine as a pale yellow wolid, m.p. 154°-155° C. IR and 1H NMR spectra were in agreement with the assigned structure.
