1,2,4-Triazoles. Improved synthesis of 5-substituted 4-amino-3-mer-cato-(4H)-1,2,4-triazoles and a facile route to 3,6-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles

subject

description

The reaction of thiocarbohydrazide with carboxylic acids at the melting temperature allows an improved preparation of the S-substituted 4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole heterocycles. The crude 4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles react easily with carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid chlorides to afford the 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-fc][1,3,4]thiadiazole ring system.
