Heterocyclic compounds from urea derivatives. Part XV. The hydrazinolysis of 4-substituted 1-dithiomethoxycarbonyl-3-thiosemicarbazides

Abstract

Reports in the literature claim that hydrazinolysis converts 1-dithiomethoxycarbonyl-4-isobutyl (or phenyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide into 4-amino-3-isobutylamino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole and 2-anilino-5-hydrazino-1,3,4-thiadiazole respectively. These products are now shown to be 4-substituted 3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles. Additional observations concerning this reaction and its products are described and discussed.
