Chemoselective one-pot synthesis of 2-phenylamino-5-alkylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives from phenylthiosemicarbazide and CS2

Abstract

A novel and fairly efficient chemoselective one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of both 2-phenylamino-5-alkylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole and bis-(2-phenylamino-5-alkylthio-)1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives from phenylthiosemicarbazide and CS2. Keywords: One-pot, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, Carbon disulfide, Phenylthiosemicarbazide
