Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-Methyl-5-pyridin-4-yl-2,4-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazole-3-thione (1000 mg, 5.20 mmol) in 1M sodium hydroxide (10 mL), added a solution of iodomethane (0.52 mL, 8.32 mmol) in ethanol (3 mL). Stirred at RT overnight. Extracted into 200 mL dichloromethane and washed with brine (50 mL). Dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield title compound (1.00 g, 94% yield). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ (ppm): 8.81 (d, 2H), 7.62 (d, 2H), 3.68 (s, 3H), 2.82 (s, 3H).
