- Process for low chloride 1,2,4-triazol-5-one
-
A process for producing 1,2,4-triazol-5-one comprises reacting a semicarbazide compound with a formic acid compound formylating agent in the presence of a catalytic amount of a sulfur-oxygen containing acid. The process is able to produce 1,2,4-triazol-5-one from semicarbazide hydrochloride having significantly lower concentrations of chloride ion, which is advantageous, for example, in the production of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one as an explosive used in castable explosive compositions.

- Process for low chloride 1,2,4-triazol-5-one
-
A process for producing 1,2,4-triazol-5-one reacts an aqueous hydrazine solution with urea to form a reaction mixture of semicarbazide and ammonia, the reaction mixture is concentrated and an aqueous solution of a mineral acid added to form a slurry of a salt of semicarbazide. A formic acid compound is admixed with the slurry, and the slurry heated to produce 1,2,4-triazol-5-one. The novel process results in the production of a semicarbazide salt in situ and eliminates a number of process steps required in processes of the prior art.
