The hydrolysis of bis(α-isocyanatoalkyl)diazenes with hydrochloric acid affords the novel 5,5-dialkyl-Δ1-1,2,4-triazolin-3-ones in good yields, and is a minor by-product, the corresponding 4-aminocarbonyl derivatives. The 1,2,4-triazolin-3-ones are easily converted into the 4-benzoyl derivatives which, in turn, react as mild benzoylating agents toward primary amines.
