摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a novel compound which is the hydroxylammonium or lower alkyl hydroxylammonium salt of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one, together with processes for preparation thereof. One process comprises a two-step reaction comprising: (a) reacting 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one with an aqueous alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide to form an aqueous solution of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one, and (b) reacting said alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one with an aqueous solution of hydroxylammonium salt or lower alkyl-substituted hydroxylammonium salt to form the hydroxylammonium salt of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one.</p> |
