a b s t r a c t 4-Amino-2-[(5-arylamino-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)methyl]-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones (3a-c) were obtained in acidic media via the formation of 2-[(4-amino-3-aryl-5-oxo-4,5dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetyl]-N-arylhydrazinecarbothioamides (2a-c), and then, compound 3b was converted to methylated derivative, 4. The basic treatment of carbothioamide derivatives, 2a-c, afforded 4-amino-2-[(4-aryl-5-sulphanyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl]-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2, 4-triazol-3-ones (5a-c). The alkylation reactions of compounds 4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylmethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one derivatives (5a-c) were performed by using methyl iodide or ethyl bromide in the presence of sodium ethoxide, while the treatment of the same intermediates, 5a-c, with aromatic aldehydes produced 2-{[4-(4-aryl)-5-sulphanyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]methyl}-4-(arylmethylene)amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones (8a-d). The synthesis of 4-amino-(or arylideneamino)-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2-{[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl or morpholin-4-ylethyl)methyl]-4-aryl-5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl}methyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones (7a, b and 9) was performed by a one pot three-component Mannich reaction involving the corresponding compounds, 4-(substituted)amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylmethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3one derivatives 5a, b and 8a, methylpiperazine or 2-(4-morpholino)ethylamine and formaldehyde. The newly synthesized compounds were well characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and mass spectral studies. They were also screened for their microbial activities. The antimicrobial activity study revealed that some of which 2a, c, 3c, 5a-c, 8a-d showed good activity against a variety of microorganisms.
