Reactivity of N 1-Dithioester Substituted Pyridinand Pyrazincarboxamidrazones

Abstract
The N 1-dithioester substituted pyridin- and pyrazincarboxamidrazones underwent cyclocondensation to 5-methylsulfanyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole or 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, depending on the reaction conditions. With an excess of secondary amines, pyrazincarboxamidrazone dithioester gave 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and with an ethanoloamine a 1,2,4-triazole derivative. Prepared compounds were evaluated as potential tuberculostatic agents, but the minimum inhibitory concentrations values indicated no significant activity.
