As part of my thesis, I optimized the synthetic pathways of 1,2,4-triazolidin-3-thiones and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles. In doing so, I was able to synthesize seven different 1,2,4-triazolidin-3-thiones and three 1,3,4-thiadiazoles. These compounds are known for a wide range of pharmaceutical properties. Although the synthesis yields are not the best, this could probably be improved by further optimizing the synthesis processes. The obtained compounds were characterized by NMR, HRMS and elemental analysis. For two compounds suitable crystals for X-ray structural analysis were obtained. The purpose of the task was to study the method of binding ligands to model zinc compounds. Utilizing these model compounds, the mode and strength of binding of synthesized molecules to active sites of metalloenzymes would be studied. I reviewed the scientific literature and summarized how these compounds could be synthesized.
