Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 178517804, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.58 g (12.9 mmol) of 7-chloro-5-(methylthio)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine (Example 51A) is dissolved in 300 ml of methanol, and 28 ml of a 2 molar aqueous potassium hydroxide solution are added. The mixture is heated under reflux for 3 h. After the reaction is complete, the methanol is removed in vacuo, the mixture is neutralized with half-concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the crystals which have separated out are filtered off with suction. They are washed with water and methanol and then dried under high vacuum. 1.82 g (83% of theory) of the product are obtained.
