Reaction of 4-thioxo-1,3-benzothiazines with thiocarbohydrazine: Synthesis and reactivity of 1,3,4-triazolo[3,2-c]quinazoline derivatives

2-Aryl-4-thioxo-1,3-benzothiazines react with thiocarbohydrazide to give the new mesoionic compounds an-hydro 1-amino-5-aryl-2-mercapto-1,3,4-triazolo3,2-c]quinazolin-4-ium hydroxides. These compounds react with methyl iodide, aldehydes and phenacyl bromides to give 1-amino-5-aryl-2-methylthio-1,3,4-triazolo-3,2-c]quinazolin-4-ium iodides, 4-arylidenamino-3-(o-aroylamino)phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazolin-5-thiones and 3-(o-aroylamino)phenyl-6-aryl-7H-1,2,4-triazolo3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazines, respectively. These latter compounds by sequential treatment with methyl trifluoromethanesulphonate and triethylamine lead to 3-(o-aroylamino)-phenyl-6-aryl-1-methyl-7-mercapto-1H-pyrazolo5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazoles.
