Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-chloromethyl-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (600 mg, 4.6 mmol) in aqueous ammonia (5 ml) was stirred and heated at 80° C. for 16 hours in a sealed tube. Upon cooling the volatiles were removed in vacuo (azeotroping with ethanol) to give the title compound (600 mg, 92%) as a colourless solid after drying under high vacuum. 1H NMR (250 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 3.88 (3H, s), 4.04 (2H, s), 8.3 (3H, br s), 8.58 (1H, s).
