“…The limited synthetic methods for such systems fall into three groups: (i) starting from substituted pyrazolo derivatives such as 3-amino, , 3-hydrazino, ,− 3-hydroxy or 3-diazonium salts, , (ii) cyclic condensations of 4-amino-5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazoles, 3,4-diamino-1,2,4-triazoles, , 3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazolium salts or 4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium salts and (iii) ring contraction of [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4- b ][1,3,4]thiadiazines. , …”
