4-Nitro-1,2,3-triazole magnesium salt (9). Mag-
nesium turnings, 2.4 g, were dissolved in 300 mL of
methanol on heating, the mixture was heated for
30 min under reflux and cooled to room temperature,
and 42 g (0.15 mol) of 4-nitro-2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-
2H-1,2,3-triazole was added. The mixture was heated
for 3 h under reflux, 220–225 mL of methanol was
distilled off, 400 mL of water was added to the residue
under stirring, and the mixture was cooled. The precip-
itate was filtered off and washed with water. The fil-
trate was combined with the washings and evaporated
on a steam bath, and the residue was recrystallized
from propan-2-ol. Yield 34 g (90%).
