2 \ ~N (VII), ~, wherein Hal is as defined for formula I, with a base.
Suitable bases are strong inorganic hydroxides such as sodium and potassium hydroxide.
Suitable halogenating agents are: phosgene, thionyl chloride, thionyl bromide, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphoroxy chloride or hydriodic acid. Preferred halogenating agents are thionyl chloride and thionyl bromide, as the by-products formed are gaseous and therefore do not influence the reaction. The iodine compounds are conveniently obtained from already halogenated compounds by reacting these latter with hydriodic acid.
A further method of obtaining corresponding chlorides, bromides and iodides comprises reacting compounds of the formula VI with the corresponding trialkyl silyl halides.
The halogenation reaction is normally carried out in inert solvents, e.g. hydrocarbons such as hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene or xylene, or ethers such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofurane, dioxane or xylene or dimethoxy ethane. When using liquid halogenating agents, it is frequently possible to dispense with a solvent entirely. The reaction is then carried out in an excess of reagent, e.g. thionyI chloride or thionyl bromide.
The l-halomethyl-lH-1,2,4-triazoles of the formula I are compounds ; which are unstable at room temperature and also at 0C. Surprisingly, however, it has been found that solutions of l-halomethyl-lM-1,2,4-triazoles Oe the Eorm~lla I ln acetonltrLle can be s~ored Eor months without clecomposltion.
The start:Lng compound oE the eormllla VL Is known erom Kllim~
Geterosikl. Soedl., 1980~ 251 (English translfltion: Chem. ~leterocycl. Comp.
_.
1980, 189). In the process descrlbed thereln, the hydroxymethyl ,~,.

triazole is prepared using aqueous formalin solution.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that higher yields can be obtained by carrying out the synthesis using paraformaldehyde in a non-aqueous rnedium. This process also cons~itutes an object of the invention~

In the process of this invention, l-hydroxymethyl-lH-1,2,4-tria~ole is prepared by reacting lH-1,2,4-triazole in a non-aqueous medium, in the presence of catalytic amounts of a base9 with paraformaldehyde.
The reaction may be carried out in the presence or absence of an inert solvent.

Suitable solvents for this process are inert organic compounds, e.g.
ethers, preferably containing 2 or more oxygen atoms, such as dioxane or dimethoxy ethane. The reaction is carried out by boiling the reaction mixture under reflux. It is particularly advantageous~ how-ever, to carry out the reaction without a solvent in the melt of the reactants. The temperature is in the range from 40 to 150C~ with the preferred range being from 60 to 100C.

Suitable bases are: hydroxides such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, carbonates such as sodium or potassium carbonate, or amines such as triethylamine, quinoline and pyridine.

The following Examples illustrate the invention in more detail.
Pressures are given in milllbars tmb).
.xam ~ 1: Preparation of l-chlormethyl-lH-1,2,4-triaæole hydrochlorLde A melt of 195.3 g (1.74 moles) of l-hydro~ymethyl-lH-1,2,~-triaxole is added dropwise over 1 1/2 hours to 600 ml oE thionyl chloride.
Vigorous evolution of gas ensues and the reaction mixture begins to boil. After the melt has been completely added, the reaction mixture ls stirred under reflux for a further 2 hours and then cooled.

The precipitated yellow l-chloromethyl-lH-1,2,4-triazole hydrochloride is isolated by filtration and washed with two 300 ml portions of diethyl ether. Yield: 272 g (93.5 %). Melting point: 120-127C.

Example 2: Preparation of l-chloromethyl-lH-1,2,4-triazole With efficient stirring, 80 g of sodium hydroxide in 250 ml of water are added dropwise to 240.6 g (1.44 moles) of 1-chloromethyl-lH-1,2,4-triazole hydrochloride in a mixture of 600 ml of water and 400 ml of chloroform. The reaction mixture is saturated with sodium chloride and extracted three times with chloroform. The chloroform extracts are dried and concentrated. Fractional distillation of the residue yields 156.2 g (83.05 %) of 1-chloromethyl-lH-1,2,4-triazole w;th a boiling point of 52-54C/0.27 mb.
