“…Studies indicate that the 1,2,4-triazole moiety is associated with anticorrosion (Al-Khara® et al, 1986) and anti-in¯ammatory action (Gupta & Bhargava, 1978), and also with pharmacological activities, such as antiviral, analgesic, antimicrobial, antidepressant and antifungal effects (Jones et al, 1965;Sughen & Yoloye, 1978;Cansiz et al, 2001;Kane et al, 1988;Massa et al, 1992). As a contination of our studies of the structural analysis of Schiff-base-containing substituted 1,2,4triazole derivatives (Arslan et al, 2004;Yilmaz et al, 2004), we report here the crystal and molecular structures of three sub-stituted 1,2,4-triazole compounds, namely 3-(4-methylbenzyl)-4-benzylamino-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one, (I), 3-(4-methylbenzyl)-4-(4-methylbenzylamino)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one, (II), and 3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-4-(4-methylbenzylamino)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one, (III), which are expected to exhibit pharmacological properties and act as suitable ligands in coordination chemistry. The title compounds were obtained from the corresponding Schiff base in the presence of diglyme and NaBH 4 .…”
