Cyanoacetamide → HCID 339321, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(azidomethyl)-4-methoxybenzene (5 g) and 2-cyanoacetamide (5 g) was added to a solution of sodium ethoxide (made from 1.6 g of sodium in 100 mL of ethanol). The resulting mixture was refluxed for 20 h. It was cooled down to room temperature and solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The remaining solid was dissolved in water (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The extracts were combined, washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Solvent was removed and the residue was crystallized from hot water to give the desired product 5-amino-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide. ESMS calculated for C11H13N5O2 (m/z): 247.1; found (M+H+): 248.1
