Synthesis of New Surfactants Mono and Bipolar Derived from 1,2,4‐Triazole‐5‐thione

Abstract

3‐Phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione (PTS) and 3‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione (MTS) are prepared in two steps. The first is a condensation of the thiosemicarbazide with the benzoyl chloride and the acetyl chloride for the PTS and MTS respectively in pyridinic medium. This step leads to the formation of 1‐benzoylthiosemicarbazide and 1‐acetylthiosemicarbazide. The 1‐acetylthiosemicarbazide is also prepared with a new method consisted of a simple solvolysis the thiosemicarbazide in acetic acid for 4 hr. The second is the intramolecular cyclization in methanol with the presence of the sodium methalate leads to the formation of the PTS and the MTS in good yields. The alkylation of MTS and PTS under the conditions of solid–liquid phase transfer catalysis (PTC) allowed us to synthesize some new mono and bipolar surfactants compounds derived from 1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thione in good yields.
