Reaction Steps

1M Aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (175 ml) was added over 10 minutes to a stirred suspension of 4-allyl-1-nicotinoylsemicarbazide (17.2 g) in water (100 ml), then the stirred mixture was heated at 90-95° C. for 17 hours, cooled to ambient temperature, and acidified to pH 5 by the addition of 5M hydrochloric acid. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and the resulting solid was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo at ambient temperature to give 4-allyl-5-(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazol-3(2H,4H)-one as an off-white solid (14 g), m.p. 120-125° C.
