A process for producing chloride ion-free 1,2,4-triazol-5-one which comprises: a) heating a mixture of hydrazodicarbonamide and formic acid to a reflux temperature for said mixture, b) refluxing said mixture at said reflux temperature for a time sufficient to cause said mixture to change its visual appearance from a cloudy mixture to a clear solution, and c) removing unreacted formic acid from said clear solution to provide the desired 1,2,4-triazol-5-one product free of chloride ion. |
