1,2,4-Thiadiazole-Sthione (2a) was synthesized from the corresponding 5-bromo compound. An alternative synthesis of the known 3-methyl-l,2,4-thiadiazole-5-thione is described. It was shown by i.r. spectroscopy that the parent compound and its 3-methyl derivative existed in the thione form in the solid state.Mercuric-l,2,4-thiadiazole-3-thiolate (5) was prepared by cleavage of the corresponding disulfide with mercury. The mercuric salt was converted to a stable (in solution) sodium salt, but the free thio compound was not isolable.Le thiadiazole-1,2,4 thione-5 (2a) a CtC synthCtisC B partir du composC correspondant bromo-5.

Chern., 51, 2353 (1973) There are two possible 1,2,4-thiadiazole thiols, and ring-substituted representatives of each isomer are known (2,3), but the parent members have not, to our knowledge, been previously described.
