Reaction Steps

To a round bottomed flask was loaded 3.78 grams of 2-acetylcyclopentanone, 3.52 grams of (5-Amino-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-methanol and 50 ml 2-methoxyethanol. The mixture was refluxed for 18 hours. Then it was cooled down to 23° C. and concentrated to 5 ml. Then 50 ml ethyl ether was added and the precipitate was filtered and vacuum dried to yielded 2.0 grams of product. This compound was used directly for the next step. MS: 205.2 (M+H). H-NMR (DMSO): δ 5.55 (t, 1H, OH, J=6.2 Hz), 4.63 (d, 2H, J=6.2 Hz), 3.28 (m, 2H), 3.02 (t, 2H, CH2, J=6.8 Hz), 2.51 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.27 (m, 2H, CH2).
