Abstract

Condensation of ethyl acetothioimidate hydrochloride (III) with amidrazones IV afforded 3-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (Va) and ethyl 3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylate (Vb). Analogously, the thioimidate hydrochloride VI was transformed into ethyl 5-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate (VIIa) which, after removal of benzoyl groups, was ammonolysed to the amide II.
