16. On larger scales, synthesis of 9 started with di-t-butyl cresol followed by nitration, methylation and reduction to provide the 3, 5-di-t-butyl analog of 5. Formation of the triazolone moiety according to the procedures described in Scheme 1, followed by concommitent demethylation and debutylation by treatment with excess aluminum trichloride, allowed us to obtain 9 in a more cost-effective synthesis
