1,2-Dialkyl-4-pyrazolidinethiols as potential antiradiation agents

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/jps.2600681040

The reaction between 3-chloropropylene sulfide and the 1,2-dialkylhydrazines was employed to prepare a series of 1,2-dialkyl-4-pyrazolidinethiols. Evidence is presented to support the structure proposed for the product. These mercaptoheterocycles are related to the β-mercaptoethylamines and were prepared as potential radiation protective agents. No significant activity was observed.
