ylbenzoate hydrochloride (0.01 mol) in 25 mL of absolute ethanol.
The mixture was stirred for 6 h at 0–5 °C and subsequently for 2 h
at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into a bea-
ker containing 40 mL of cold water and 10 g of ice. The precipitate
formed was washed with 50 mL of ice-water and then dried. The
product was recrystallized from benzene–petroleum ether (1:2)
to give pure compound 1. Yield 78%, m.p. 105–106 °C. IR (KBr tab-

phenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amine
4 (1.5 g, 3.51 mmol) and 4-
nitrophthalonitrile (607 mg, 3.51 mmol) were dissolved in dry
DMF (10 mL) under N2 atmosphere. After stirring for 10 min at
50 °C, dry fine-powdered potassium carbonate (968 mg,
7.02 mmol) was added portionwise within 2 h with efficient stir-
ring. The reaction mixture was stirred under N2 at 50 °C for
3 days. Then the mixture was poured into 150 mL ice-water,
and precipitate was filtered off, washed with water, diethyl ether
and dried in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from ethanol.

Compound 1 (0.005 mol) was added to a solution of hydrazine
hydrate (0.01 mol) in 50 mL of 1-propanol and the mixture was re-
fluxed for 24 h. On cooling, a precipitate was formed. This product
was filtered and, after drying, was washed with 20 mL of benzene.
The remaining solid was recrystallized from 1-propanol to afford
pure compound 2. Yield 85%, m.p. 314–315 oC. IR (KBr tablet),
