Thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazole-5(6H)-ones (4-10) were obtained in a one step synthesis by heating 3-aryl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles (3a-d) with chloroacetic acid and appropriate aromatic aldehyde ill acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous NaOAc. Michael type addition of cyclic secondary amines (N-methylpiperazine, piperidine) to 4-10 gave 2-phenyl-6-(alpha-aminoarylmethyl)thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazole-5-ols (4a-10b). The structures of the compounds were confirmed by spectral and elementary analysis. The compounds synthesized in previous and present studies were investigated for their anti-inflammatory activities.
