On Triazoles. XXXII. The reaction of 5-amino-1 H-1,2,4-triazolylcarbothiohydrazides with β- and γ-oxo-esters

5-Amino-lH-1,2,4-triazolylcarbothiohydrazides gave β and γ-oxo-esters in boiling ethanol [1,2,4]triazolo- [1,5-d][1,2,4,6]tetrazepine-5-thiones 3 . Analogously ethyl 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate provided a mixture of two diastereomeric spiro derivatives 5 and 6 . At 130°, 2-acetonyl-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-thione ( 8 ) was formed. Ring closure of 3e (R¹ = CH₃, R² = CH₂CH₂COOEt, Q = morpholino) lead to the isomeric pyrrolo[2,1-g][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-d][1,2,4,6]tetrazepin-8(11H)-one ( 12 ) and pyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-d][1,2,4,6]tetrazepin-10(7H)-one ( 13 ) derivatives representing two new ring systems.
