A series of 4-(1-naphthylidenamino)-1,2,4-triazol-5-one derivatives (3a-e) were synthesized by condensation of corresponding 3-alkyl-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones with 1-naphthaidehyde. Acetylation and alkylation of these compounds gave 4a-e and 5a-e, respectively. Sodium borohydride reduction of 1-naphthylidenamino derivatives afforded naphthylmethylamino derivatives. which were Subsequently acetylated. Depending on the duration of the acetylation. mono or bis acetamide derivatives were obtained.
