Participants

Reaction Steps

Add dropwise potassium tert-butoxide (11.4 g, 101.8 mmol) in 30 ml N,N-dimethylformamide (30 ml) to a solution of [1,2,4]triazole-3-thiol (10.3 gm, 101.8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml). Add dropwise methyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (15.3 gm, 101.8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 ml) and stir for 3 hours. Concentrate under reduced pressure, dilute with ethyl acetate (500 ml), filter, and concentrate under reduced pressure.
