G. Jayanthi et al., PHOTOCHEMICAL-SYNTHESIS OF S-TRIAZOLO[3,4-B]BENZOTHIAZOLE AND MECHANISTIC STUDIES ON BENZOTHIAZOLE FORMATION, Journal of organic chemistry, 62(17), 1997, pp. 5766-5770
A general photochemical synthesis of s-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazoles f
rom 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione is described. Steady pho
tolysis, quantum yield determination, and laser flash photolysis exper
iments have been carried out. An intramolecular electron transfer mech
anism has been proposed.
