Ammonia → 1,2-Diphenyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

50 g (0.378 Mol) of ethylallophanate and 76.6 g (0.416 Mol) of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine were suspended in 100 ml of anhydrous xylene and refluxed for 6 hours with stirring, during which time ammonia was released. The solvent was distilled off, the residue was mixed with 150 ml of xylene once more and refluxed for 1 hour. The mixture was left to cool, the reaction product was suction filtered, and thoroughly washed with cold xylene. After drying in vacuo, 60.0 g (63% of theory) of colourless crystals were obtained, mp. 216°-217° C.
