Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,2,4-triazole (25 g, 0.362 mol) and acrylonitrile (100 mL, 4 w/v) was heated up to 80° C. under nitrogen for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the excess of acrylonitrile affording 41 g of the title compound as a colourless liquid (93%). It was used in the next step without further purification.
