5-alkoxy 1,2,4]triazolo 1,5-c]pyrimidine-2(3h)-thione compounds and their use in the preparation of 2,2'-dithiobis(5-alkoxy 1,2,4]triazolo 1,5-c]-pyrimidine) and 2-chlorosulfonyl-5-alkoxy 1,2,4]triazolo 1,5-c]pyrimidine compounds |

2-Chlorosulfonyl-5-alkoxy[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-c]pyrimidine compounds, such as 2-chlorosulfonyl-5-ethoxy-7-fluoro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine, that are useful for the preparation of 5-alkoxy[1,2,4]triazolo [1,5-c]pyrimidine-2-sulfonamide herbicides, were prepared in an improved manner from 5-alkoxy[1,2,4]triazolo [1,5-c]pyrimidine-2(3H)-thione compounds, such as 5-ethoxy-7-fluoro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-2(3H)-thione, by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide to obtain novel 2,2'-dithiobis(5-alkoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine) compounds, such as 2,2'-dithiobis (5-ethoxy-7-fluoro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine), and subsequent chloroxidation of these intermediate compounds. |
