Oxidation of 4-phenyl-1-pivaloylsemicarbazide leads to the formation of two structural isomers: 5-tert-butyl-5-hydroxy-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one and 1-tert-butyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione. Isomerization of 5-tert-butyl-5-hydroxy-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one to 1-tert-butyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione proceeds upon heating and is accompanied by the migration of the tert-butyl group from the carbon atom to the nitrogen atom.
