Compounds capable of tautomerism: sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazole, its C-phenyl derivative, and the crystal hydrate of the latter, were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystals they exist in the form of 3-R-1(H),4(H)-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione with a considerable contribution of the bipolar structure. Published data on the tautomerism of sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazoles and their N-substituted analogs and on the correlation between the spectral characteristics and structures of sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazoles capable of tautomerism are discussed.

Reactions of 4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzoic acid with N′-hydroxybenzimidamides resulted in the formation of 3-aryl-5-[4-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.     

Synthesis of substituted 4-([1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-6-yl)quinolines

Boiling in toluene of 5-(arylmethylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-triones with L-proline and aldehyde led to the formation of previously unknown substituted 1′-arylhexahydro-1H-spiro[pyrimidine-5,2′-pyrrolysine]-2,4,6(1H,3Н,5Н)-triones.

The 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-diazonium salt was not involved into a similar reaction but suffered an intramolecular azo coupling giving pyrazolo[3,4-c]-cinnoline.     

Azines and azoles: CXXVII. 5-phenyl-7<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>][1,3]thiazin-7-ones: Synthesis and structure

Reactions of 1-acylthiosemicarbazides with methyl 3-phenylprop-2-ynoate provide a new one-step procedure for the synthesis of 2-substituted 5-phenyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3]thiazin-7-ones. The product structure was determined on the basis of scalar spin-spin coupling constants ² J(¹H-¹⁵N) and ³ J(¹H-¹⁵N) in the ¹H and ¹⁵N NMR spectra and was proved by X-ray analysis. Methyl 3-phenylprop-2-ynoate reacted with 1-acetylthiosemicarbazide in ethanol in the presence of H₂SO₄ to give 3-methyl-7-phenyl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b]-[1,3]thiazin-5-one as the only product.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of copper(I) complexes with 3-pyridin-2-yl-5-(4-R-phenyl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazoles

A series of heteroligand copper(I) complexes with 3-pyridin-2-yl-5-(4-R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles (R = H, CH₃, CH₃O) and PPh₃ of general composition CuIL(PPh₃) have been synthesized and studied. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and diffusion reflectance spectra. The structure of the complex with 3-pyridin-2-yl-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex is mononuclear and has a tetrahedral environment of the central atom. The compounds exhibit strong visible photoluminescence (λ_max = 599–609 nm). Quantum-chemical calculations at the B3LYP/DGDZVP level have demonstrated that the short phosphorescence life-time of the CuIL(PPh₃) compounds is caused by intensity transfer from the S ₀–S ₂ transition through spinorbit coupling induced by the rotation of the iodine 5p orbital upon the T ₁–S ₂ transition.     

Synthesis and properties of 5-substituted 1-dinitromethyl-3-nitro-1 <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazoles

Regioselectivity in the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(polychloroethylidene)-sulfonamides with 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyrrole

N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethylidene)arenesulfonamides react with 1H-pyrrole and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole to give the corresponding N-[2,2,2-trichloro-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]arenesulfonamides. The reaction of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)trifluoromethanesulfonamide with pyrrole leads to a mixture of 2-mono-and 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles, whereas in the reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole only the 2-substituted compound is formed. N-(2,2-Dichloro-2-phenylethylidene)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide reacts with 1H-pyrrole to form N-[2,2-dichloro-2-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl]-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and its reaction with 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole gives a mixture of 2-and 3-monosubstituted derivatives. The results of quantum-chemical calculations of the initial reactants and products indicate that the process is orbital-controlled. A good agreement is observed between the experimental data and theoretical conclusions concerning the dependence of the reaction regioselectivity on the nature of substituents in the electrophile molecule.

Emission spectra of these compounds show two weak bands (λ _max ^fl = 317–346 and 430–447 nm, φ = 0.002–0.007), whereas their zinc complexes emit in the violet range of the visible spectrum (λ _max ^fl = 373–377 nm, φ = 0.20–0.25).

The reaction of ethyl 4-formyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate with the malonic acid led to the formation (2E)-3-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)propenic acid.
