Synthesis of a Novel 2-((4,5-Diphenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetaldehyde as a Bisulfite Adduct

Abstract

The scope of the current work was to synthesize an S-alkylated 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol derivative. Synthesis was carried out in two steps: in the first step, 4,5-diphenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol was S-alkylated using a halogenated acetal and cesium carbonate. In the second step, several acetal deprotection procedures were tested, and the aldehyde obtained was isolated as a bisulfite adduct. The structures of the new compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1D, and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods.
