METHOD FOR PREPARING R-METHYL-DERIVATIVES OF 3,5-DIAMINO-1,2,4-TRIAZOLE

FIELD: organic chemistry, chemical technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention describes a method for synthesis of novel R-methyl-derivatives of 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole of the general formula (I): ^ wherein R means benzene ring possibly substituted with one or some substitutes, such as branched or linear (C1-C4)-alkyl, -O-(C1-C4)-alkyl, -N-[(C1-C4)-alkyl]2, halogen atom, nitro-group; or R means naphthalene or heterocycle of the order: thiophene, furan substituted possibly with methyl group. Method is carried out by successive interaction of 1-acetyl-3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (II) with sodium hydroxide, acetic acid and aldehyde of the formula: R-C(=O)H (III) and sodium boron hydride in the mole ratio of reagents (II) : sodium hydroxide : (III) : sodium boron hydride = 1:(1.0-1.2):(0.9-1.0):(1.2-2.0), respectively. Method provides decreasing the cost of compounds of the formula (I) and enhancing safety of process in their synthesis. Synthesized compounds can be used in manufacture of medicaments and biologically active substances. ^ EFFECT: improved method of synthesis, valuable properties of compounds. ^ 2 cl, 13 ex
