Structural Study of Three 1,2,4-triazole Derivatives Prepared by Oxidative Cyclization of Thiosemicarbazides ^†

In the present research, 5,5-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (1) was prepared by condensation from N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide, while 4-phenyl-5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (2) and 2-((5-(pyridin-2-yl) -4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetic acid (3) was prepared by oxidative cyclization from 2-(amino(pyrazin-2-yl)methylene)-N-phenylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide and 2-(amino(pyridine-2-yl)methylene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, respectively. The three compounds have been well characterized and their molecular structures studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The supramolecular assembly of each crystal has also been analyzed and discussed.
