Abstract The reaction of N-cyanocarbonimidodithioic acid di (alkyl and aralkyl) esters with different alkyl-, aralkyl-and arylhydrazines to yield 1-substituted-3-R-thio-5-amino-1H-1, 2, 4- triazoles (3) and 2-substituted-3-R-thio-5-amino-2H-1, 2, 4-triazoles (4) was studied. Isolation of the different types of isomeric pairs of 3 and 4 helped to prove the structure of products obtained which made possible correction of some confusion in the literature. The ...
