Abstract:
A series of novel 4‐(arylmethylidene)amino‐5‐(2‐ethoxyphenyl)‐3‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazoles ( 2a‐f ) were easily synthesized in high yields by means of the reactions of 3‐(2‐ethoxyphenyl)‐4‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 1 ) with various aromatic aldehydes. The compound, 4‐(4‐methylbenzylidene)‐amino‐5‐(2‐ethoxyphenyl)‐3‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole was investigated with X‐ray crystallography.
