Abstract
Lawesson's reagent (LR, 1) reacted with 3-(O-hydroxy-, O-amino- and O-methylamino-substituted)phenyl-4-hydroxy(phenylamino)-5-mercapto(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazoles 2a-f and 4a-f to afford the fused systems 3a-f and 5a-f, respectively. A similar treatment of 1 with 3-(O-hydroxy-,O-amino- and O-methylamino- substituted)phenyl-5-mercapto(benzylthio)-1,2,4-triazoles 6a-c and 8a-c gave the condensed systems 7a-c and 9 a-c, respectively.
