A series of C-amino-1,2,4-triazoles, substituted with methyl, dimethylamino, methoxy, and methylthio groups, was prepared from the appropriate JV-cyanoazomethines and either hydrazine or methylhydrazine (eq 1). C-Azido-1,2,4-triazoles were prepared from the corresponding amines by diazotization followed by reaction with azide ion. When these diazotization reactions were carried out, the C-amino-1,2,4-triazoles derived from methylhydrazine, unlike those derived from hydrazine, yielded varying quantities of products depending on the acidity of the reaction media. Ir and proton nmr spectra of the C-azido-1,2,4-triazoles in various solvents indicated that none of them participates in imidoyl azide-tetrazole tautomerism, even at -82°.
