Sodium Hydroxide → 3-[2-(Piperazin-1-yl)ethylmercapto]1,2,4-triazolo(4,3-a)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

73 g of 3-[2-(4-(4-methylphenylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethylmercapto]-1,2,4-triazolo(4,3-a)pyridine, prepared in Example 78, are dissolved in 360 ml of a concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid and the resulting solution is heated under reflux for 8 hours. After cooling, it is neutralized with sodium hydroxide and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 37.4 g of 3-[2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethylmercapto]1,2,4-triazolo(4,3-a)pyridine in the form of an oil which crystallizes from acetone. M.p.=104° C.
