Alkylation, amino(hydroxy)methylation, and cyanoethylation of 5-substituted 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols

Resumo

Reactions of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols with 2-bromopropionic acid, 2-bromocaproic acid, ethylene chlorohydrine, chloroacetamide, 3-bromo-4-methoxybenzyl chloride, 2-methoxy-5-acetylbenzyl chloride, and 2-(2-chlorophenoxy)ethyl chloride in the presence of KOH have afforded new 3-sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazoles in high yields. Aminomethylation of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols in the presence of formaldehyde has given the corresponding 2-aminomethyl-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thiones. Interaction of triazole-3-thiols with formalin and acrylonitrile has resulted in the formation of N²-hydroxymethyl- and 3-(2-cyanoethyl)sulfanyl derivatives.
