Triethylamine → 3-Methyl-carbamoylmercapto-4-n-butyl-1,2,4-triazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 6.0 g. (0.0382 mole) of 3-mercapto-4-n-butyl-1,2,4-triazole dissolved in 50 ml. of ether was added 2.5 g. (0.248 mole) of triethylamine and then 2.5 g. (0.0438 mole) of methyl isocyanate. The resulting orange-brown solution was allowed to stand overnight. The solid which formed was filtered and washed twice with 50 ml. of ether to give 4.7 g. (57% yield) of 3-methyl-carbamoylmercapto-4-n-butyl-1,2,4-triazole melting at 112°-114° C.
