Ethanol → 2-Amino-5-chloro-8-methoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (9.6 g, 138 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (14.4 mL, 10.7 g, 83 mmol) were mixed with ethanol (300 mL) for a few minutes and then N-(6-chloro-3-methoxy-2-pyridinyl)-N'-carboethoxythiourea (7.6 g, 27.5 mmol) was added with stirring. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min and then heated to reflux for 3 hours. The volatile components were removed by evaporation and the residue obtained was mixed with water. The resulting slurry was filtered and the solids collected were washed with ether, a small amount of methanol, and finally hexane and were then dried. The title compound (3.2 g) was obtained as a tan powder melting at 207°-208° C.
