Uses

Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate (1,2,4-Triazole-3-methylcarboxylate) may be used in the preparation of 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carbohydrazide.
It may also be used in the synthesis of the following nucleoside analogues:

• 1-(2,2-dimethyl-6-trityloxymethyl-4,6a-dihydro-3aH-cyclopenta-[1,3]dioxol-4-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester
• methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-(methyl 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-3-carboxylate)-2-deoxy-<SC>D</SC>-altrohexopyranoside
• 1,5-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-(methyl 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-3-carboxylate)-2-deoxy-<SC>D</SC>-altro-hexitol

Application

Methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate is an essential raw material for the synthesis of antiviral drug ribavirin, and ribavirin is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that is effective against a variety of viruses Has an inhibitory effect. Ribavirin is widely used and the market demand is huge, so the demand for methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate is also huge.

General Description

Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate can be synthesized from 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid via esterification with methanol. It is utilized as precursor for preparing the nucleoside analogue, Ribavirin. The crystal structure of methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate has been analyzed.

Synthesis

The product Methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate is synthesized using lime nitrogen as the raw material, and hydrazinolysis, condensation, esterification, deamination and other steps are performed to obtain the product Methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate. The synthesis route using lime nitrogen as the starting material: lime nitrogen first reacts with hydrazine hydrate to obtain a nitrile addition product, and then condenses with oxalic acid to obtain 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester-5-amino. The deamination process generally requires diazotization and then nitrogen release in an alcohol solution to obtain the product Methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate in which the amino group is replaced by hydrogen.
Synthesis of ethyl cyanoformate: Using ethyl cyanoformate as the raw material, it is subjected to addition with formic acid hydrazide and then cyclization to obtain ethyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate, and then alcoholysis with methanol to obtain methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate. Ethyl cyanoformate is used as a raw material and reacted with ethanol to obtain ethoxyamidine hydrochloride, which is then reacted with formic hydrazide for addition reaction, and then cyclized under high temperature conditions to obtain 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, and then ester exchange with methanol is carried out to obtain the final product.
