Spectroscopic identification of some derivatives of 3,4-diamino-4H-1,2,4-triazole and 3-Hydrazino-4H-1,2,4-triazole

Spectroscopic methods (ir, ¹H- and ¹³C-nmr, ms and uv) have been used for the structural elucidation and identification of different isomeric 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, obtained by cyclisation reactions from appropriate diaminoguanidines. The four compounds 3,4-diamino-4H-1,2,4-triazole, 3-hydrazino-4H-1,2,4-triazole, 3-amino-4-(2,6-dichlorobenzylideneamino)-4H-1,2,4-triazole and 3-(2,6-dichlorobenzylidenehydrazino)-4H-1,2,4-triazole, were chosen as representative structures to illustrate the general spectroscopic properties for 3,4-diamino- and 3-hydrazino-substituted 4H-1,2,4-triazoles and the corresponding hydrazones, with different substituents in the 5-position of the triazole ring (alkyl-, aralkyl-, mercapto-, hydroxy- and amino-groups). Nmr and uv spectroscopy were found to be the best methods for confirmation of the different series of hydrazones, while ir and nmr were found to be suitable for the structural elucidation of compounds in the series of 3,4-diamino- and 3-hydrazino-4H-1,2,4-triazoles, respectively.
