Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate can be synthesized from 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid via esterification with methanol. It is utilized as precursor for preparing the nucleoside analogue, Ribavirin. The crystal structure of methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate has been analyzed.
The product Methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate is synthesized using lime nitrogen as the raw material, and hydrazinolysis, condensation, esterification, deamination and other steps are performed to obtain the product Methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate. The synthesis route using lime nitrogen as the starting material: lime nitrogen first reacts with hydrazine hydrate to obtain a nitrile addition product, and then condenses with oxalic acid to obtain 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester-5-amino. The deamination process generally requires diazotization and then nitrogen release in an alcohol solution to obtain the product Methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate in which the amino group is replaced by hydrogen.
Synthesis of ethyl cyanoformate: Using ethyl cyanoformate as the raw material, it is subjected to addition with formic acid hydrazide and then cyclization to obtain ethyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate, and then alcoholysis with methanol to obtain methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate. Ethyl cyanoformate is used as a raw material and reacted with ethanol to obtain ethoxyamidine hydrochloride, which is then reacted with formic hydrazide for addition reaction, and then cyclized under high temperature conditions to obtain 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, and then ester exchange with methanol is carried out to obtain the final product.
