Hydrochloric Acid → 4-Hexyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

60 g of hydrazodicarbonamide and 56 g of n-hexylamine are stirred in 100 ml of N-methy pyrrolidone for 6 hours at 150° C., for 20 hours at 175° C. and for 20 hours at 180° C. The solvent is then distilled off in vacuo and the residue is triturated with 100 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution. The deposit is isolated by filtration under suction and the filtrate is neutralised with 10% hydrochloric acid. A deposit is precipitated and is isolated by filtration under suction, washed with water and dried in vacuo, giving 75 g (81% of the theoretical yield) of 4-(n-hexyl)-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione in the form of colourless crystals melting at 144° C. to 145° C.
