Abstract—A method for the synthesis of the previously inaccessible 3-pyridin-4-yl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-
thiadiazepines was developed. The X-Ray diffraction data for 8-tert-butyl-3-pyridin-4-yl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-
1,3,4-thiadiazepine are presented.

One of the methods of synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo
[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazepines is the condensation of 4-
amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols with 3-substituted 2-
propynals [1]. A disadvantage of this method is the
formation of colored resinous substances as the
reaction byproducts, which reduce the yield of the
target compounds. Also, Heidel and Reid pointed out
that this technique was not suitable for the synthesis of
3-pyridin-4-yl-8-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thia-
diazepine IIIa. An attempt to condense the 4-amino-5-
pyridin-4-yl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol II with 3-phenyl-
2-propynal led to the formation of a black viscous
multicomponent mixture.
Previously, we have reported that 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-
1,3,4-thiadiazepines may also be obtained via the con-
densation of 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols with
N-tert-butylimine of 3-phenyl-2-propynal Ia [2]. Using
this method, we succeeded in obtaining the previously
inaccessible pyridine-containing thiadiazepines IIIa, IIIb.

The structure of thiadiazepine IIIb was confirmed
by the H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction

of the pyridine ring with respect to the five-membered
ring, is 31.9 deg.

and bond angles of 8-tert-butyl-3-pyridin-4-yl-1,2,4-

table; within experimental error they coincide with the
statistical average values [3]. The conformation of 7-
