A novel method for the synthesis of 8-oxo-3-thioxo-2,3,7,8-tetrahydro- 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazines 3 consists of an intramolecular condensation reaction of substituted 1,2,4-triazoline-3-thiones 9, which possess acetal and aminocarbonyl moieties, with 5% hydrochloric acid. This method is convenient by virtue of its simplicity and the good yields.
