Abstract
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.
