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 was prepared by condensation from N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide, while 4-phenyl-5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione and 2-((5-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetic acid have been prepared by oxidative cyclization from 2-(amino(pyrazin-2-yl)methylene)-N-phenylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide and 2-(amino(pyridin-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 is also analyzed and discussed.
