Bromine → 6-Bromo-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

Bromine (2.506 mL, 48.6 mmol) was added to a suspension of 1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione (commercially available from Aldrich, 2.5 g, 22.11 mmol) in Water (40 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 26 hours. A white precipitate was formed. The solid was recovered by filtration and recrystallized from water (15 mL at reflux temperature) affording the title compound 6-bromo-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione (1.97 g, 10.26 mmol, 46.4% yield) as a white crystalline solid.
