Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-hydrazino-1H-benzimidazole (5.0 g, 33.7 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) is added sequentially triethylamine (5 ml, 33.7 mmol) and N-cyanoformimidic acid ethyl ester (3.3 g, 33.7 mmol) with cooling. After stirring for 2 hours at 0° C. the resulting precipitate is filtered with suction and dried to give 3-amino-2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): 13.0 (s, 1H); 7.77 (s,1H); 7.70 (m, 2H); 7.50 (m, 2H); 7.20 (s, 2H).
