-Amino-1,2,4-triazine derivatives have found
0 C of 6-phenyl-3-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-
5(4H)-one (III). The characteristics and properties of
compound I have been described in [2].
application as pesticides. They are commonly pre-
pared by condensation of -ketocarboxylic acids with
thiosemicarbazide in alkaline medium [1]. In the
present work we studied reactions of 4-nitroso-6-
phenyl-3-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-5(4H)-one
The reaction of compound I with acetylacetone
like the Ehrlich Sachs reaction of aromatic com-
(
pounds) in weakly alkaline medium resulted in pre-
paration of 4-(diacetylmethyleneamino)-6-phenyl-3-
thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-5(4H)-one (IV) [3].
Hydrolysis of compound IV in aqueous alcohol in the
presence of acid gave 4-amino-6-phenyl-3-thioxo-2,3-
dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-5(4H)-one (II). The mechanism
of the hydrolysis is usual for azomethines.

triazine-5(4H)-one (II) by previously unknown
methods.
Compound I was prepared by direct nitrosation
with sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid medium at
