Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.41 g of thiophosgene in 30 ml of methylene chloride is added dropwise at 0° a solution of 7.5 g of 5-methyl-3-(o-aminobenzyl)-1,2,4-triazole and 8.07 g of triethylamine in 285 ml of methylene chloride over a period of 45 minutes. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, washed first with 10% aqueous potassium bicarbonate, then with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, decolorized with charcoal and evaporated to dryness to give 5-methyl-3-(o-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,2,4-triazole; IR 2080 cm-1.
