In the title compound, C
8H
8N
4OS, the planar triazole ring is effectively coplanar with the benzene ring, which facilitates the formation of three intramolecular interactions N—H
S (leading to a thione tautomer in the solid state), O—H
N and C—H
N. Intermolecular N—H
S interactions lead to the formation of dimers, which are, in turn, linked to each other by N—H
O hydrogen bonds.

To a solution of KOH (0.015 mol, 8.40 g) and 2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (0.01 mol, 1.52 g) in absolute ethanol (100 ml) was added CS2 (0.015 mol, 0.91 ml). This mixture was diluted with absolute ethanol (50 ml) and agiated for 14 h. It was then diluted with dry ether (200 ml) and vacuum dried at 343 K. A suspension of potassium salts, 98% hydrazine hydrate (0.03 mol, 15 ml) and water (2 ml) was refluxed with stirring for 1 h. The color of the reaction mixture turned green, H2S was evolved and a homogeneous solution resulted. Dilution with cold water (100 ml) and acidification with concentrated HCl precipitated a white solid. The product was filtered, washed with 3 × 10 ml portions of cold water and recrystallized from ethanol solution to analytical purity. Yield 80%; m.p. 489–491 K.
The H atoms were located in a difference map and refined isotropically [C—H = 0.91 (2)–0.97 (2) Å].

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

1,2,4-Triazole ring systems are typical planar six-π-electron partially aromatic systems, and are used, along with their derivatives, as starting materials for the synthesis of many heterocycles (Desenko, 1995). Substituted 1,2,4-triazoles have also been actively studied as bridging ligands coordinating through their vicinal N atoms and some have special structures with interesting magnetic properties (Vos et al., 1983; Albada et al., 1984; Vreugdenhil et al., 1987; Kahn & Martinez, 1998). Studies also indicate that the 1,2,4-triazole moiety is associated with anticorrosion (Al-Kharafi et al., 1986) and anti-inflammatory action (Gupta & Bhargava, 1978), and other pharmacological activities, by exhibiting antiviral, anti-asthmatic, diuretic, analgesic, antimicrobial, antidepressant and antifungal effects (Jones et al., 1965; Bennur et al., 1976; Webb & Parsons, 1977; Sughen & Yoloye, 1978; Heubach et al., 1980; Kane et al., 1988; Massa et al., 1992; Mohamed et al., 1993; Cansiz et al., 2001). Furthermore, nitro derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole are of interest as highly energetic compounds (Pevzner, 1997). In addition, there are some studies on electronic structures and thiol–thione tautomeric equilibrium of heterocyclic thione derivatives (Koparır et al., 2005). As part of our on-going study of the relationship between the molecular and crystal structures of triazole derivatives, the crystal structure determination of the title compound, (II), has been undertaken and the results are presented here. Previously, we have reported the structure of the closely related compound 4-ethyl-5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-1,2,4-triazole-3(4H)-thione, (III) (Dege et al., 2005). The main aim of the present investigation was to study the differences between the structures of (II) and (III).
In the present study, (II) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzohydrazide, (I), and a solution of KOH in absolute ethanol solution. The resulting 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)dithiocarbazate was cyclized with hydrazine to give the triazole in good yield.
The conformation of (II), together with the atom-numbering scheme and the intramolecular hydrogen bonding, is shown in Fig. 1. The crystallographic analysis demonstrates that compound (II) exists as the thione illustrated on the lower right-hand side of the scheme rather than the thiol shown above. The molecule comprises a triazole ring with a hydroxyphenyl group substituted on the C-2 atom, an –NH2 group at the N-4 atom and an S atom at the C-3 position. The 1,2,4-triazole ring is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0074 (9) Å for atom N4. The dihedral angle between this plane and that through the phenyl ring is 10.95 (12)°. This value indicates that the whole molecule is almost flat. When the bond lengths and angles of the triazole ring in (II) (Table 1) are compared with those in (III) (Dege et al., 2005), it is noted that there are no significant differences.
The observed conformation allows for three intramolecular N—H···S, O—H···N and C—H···N interactions, as detailed in Fig. 1 and Table 2. Each of these interactions leads to the formation of a closed ring, the first being five-membered and the others being six-membered.
In the crystal structure, two intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are also observed (Table 2). In a fashion similiar to that found in the structure of (III) (Dege et al., 2005), centrosymmetric dimers are formed via N—H···S hydrogen bonds, generating an R22(8) ring highlighted in Fig. 2. The dimers are connected to each other via intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds.
