Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-3-methylthio-6-(p-methylphenyl)-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine (1.0 g) was added in a solution of metallic sodium (0.1 g) in methanol (10 ml), and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After stirring, the resulting mixture was evaporated to dryness to give a crude product. Recrystallization of the crude product from acetone gave 0.8 g of 2-methyl-3-methoxy-6-(p-methylphenyl)-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine in 86% yield. M.P., 159° C.
