Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2.50 g of methyl 7-mercapto-5-methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxylate in 25 ml of 25 percent aqueous ammonia was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The mixture was filtered and the solid is dried at 50° in a vacuum. There was obtained 7-mercapto-5-methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxamide as a 1:1:1 adduct with water and ammonia.
