Reaction Steps

3-Methyl-1,4,6-triazanaphthalen-2(1H)-one (J. W. Clark-Lewis, R. P. Singh J. Chem. Soc. 1962, 3162) (3.1 g, 0.02 mol) was hydrogenated in 300 ml of methanol with palladium catalysis (10% Pd/carbon) under 1 atm of hydrogen. After hydrogen uptake ceased, the catalyst was filtered off with suction, the solvent was removed, and the residue was stirred with diethyl ether and filtered off with suction. 2.6 g (82%) of the desired product of melting point 230° C. (dec.) were obtained.
