Abstract

1-(Alkyldithiocarbonyl)-imidazoles, 1-(methyldithio- carbonyl)-1,2,4-triazole and 1-(methyldithiocarbonyl)-benzotria­zole were prepared in good to excellent yields from the reaction of imidazol, 1,2,4-1H-triazole and 1H-benzotriazole with carbon disulfide and corresponding alkylating agents in the presence of anhydrous potassium phosphate in acetone at room temperature within 2 hours.
