R. Iqbal et al., SYNTHESIS OF 2,4-DIHYDRO-4-(2-PHENYLETHYL)-5-(ISOMERIC PYRIDYL)-3H-1,2,4-TRIAZOLE-3-THIONES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES, Turkish journal of chemistry, 20(4), 1996, pp. 295-301
Intramolecular cyclization of the three isomeric 1,4-disubstituted thi
osemicarbazides 3(a-c) in aqueous sodium hydroxide was attempted to ob
tain 2,4-dihydro-4-(2-phenylethyl)-5-(isomeric pyridyl)-3H-1,2,4-triaz
ole-3-thiones 4(a-c). Each of the three isolated triazoles was separat
ely treated with benzyl chloride and with chloroacetic acid to furnish
the corresponding benzylthio 5(a-c) and carboxymethylthio derivatives
6(a-c), respectively.
