Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of cyclobutane carboxylic acid (7.50 g, 74.9 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) was added oxalyl chloride (12.00 g, 95 mmol) followed by catalytic amount of DMF. The resultant mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h. The solvent from the reaction mixture was completely evaporated to a light coloured viscous mass. In a different RB flask, a suspension of semicarbazide hydrochloride (9.00 g, 81 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) was treated with triethylamine (18.00 g, 178 mmol) and stirred at −10° C. for 30 minutes. To the reaction mixture was added the acid chloride dissolved in DCM (20 mL) at the same temp and the resultant mixture was stirred at RT over night. The solvent from the reaction mixture was completely removed and the residue was stirred in MeCN (100 mL) for 1 h. The solids were collected by filtration, washed and dried. The solid was transferred to a RB flask and was treated with sodium hydroxide (7.50 g, 188 mmol) and water (20 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 3 h, cooled to RT, and acidified with conc. sulfuric acid. The solids were collected, washed sparingly with cold water, and dried to provide 3-cyclobutyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one, (6.40 g, 61.4% yield) as white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 11.27 (s, 1H), 11.10 (s, 1H), 2.15 (m, 7H); MS (ESI) m/z: 140.1 (M+H+).
