Here, we present a study on the regioselectivity cyclization of 5-amino-4-alkenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones. The presence of various nucleophilic centers causes the possibility of cyclization of an alkenyl fragment on different heteroatoms and the formation of a few alternative structures. Elemental bromine was utilized as an electrophilic agent, and two 6-(bromomethyl)-6-R-5,6-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazol-3-amine hydrobromide salts were obtained as the only products when taking reaction in chloroform, acetic acid, or acetonitrile. The 1H and 13C APT NMR spectra analysis proved the formation of the 1,3-thiazolinium ring upon cyclization reaction. DFT calculations at the ωB97X-D3/6-311G(d,p) level of theory were utilized to analyze molecular electrostatic potential, electron localization function, and Hirshfeld atomic partial charges the intermediate bromonium cation. These theoretical calculations explain the experimentally observed regioselectivity.
