Basic Information

Product Name: 3-Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole

Chinese Name: 3-甲基-1H-1,2,4-三唑

Molecular Formula: C₃H₅N₃

Molecular Weight: 83.09 g/mol

Structure: 3-Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole is a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing three nitrogen atoms at the 1, 2, and 4 positions, and a methyl group at the 3-position.


3-Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole is a nitrogen-rich heterocycle commonly used as a building block in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its triazole ring imparts stability and bioisosteric properties, making it useful in designing bioactive compounds. The methyl substitution at the 3-position slightly modifies its electronic and steric characteristics.
