Reaction Steps

A solution formed of 3.0 grams of the 3-(hydroxyimino)methyl-1-methyl-1,2,4-triazole made above in 20 ml of dry dimethylformamide was treated with 2.96 ml of iodomethane in 40 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran. After stirring under exclusion of light for four days at 35° C., the mixture was filtered to provide 5.41 grams of 1,4-dimethyl-3-(hydroxyimino)methyl-1,2,4-triazolium iodide as a colorless solid melting at 187° C. with decomposition. This salt was ion exchanged in Amberlite Cl- anion exchange resin to give the chloride salt melting at 201°-202° C. with decomposition.
