Synthesis, S-alkylation, and fungicidal activity of 4-(benzylideneamino)thioglycolurils

A series of 1,3-disubstituted 4-benzylideneamino-5-thioxohexahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazol-2(1H)-ones (thioglycolurils) was synthesized via the reaction of 5,7-disubstituted 3-thioxoperhydroimidazo[4,5-e]-1,2,4-triazin-6-ones with hydroxy-, alkoxy-, and fluorocontaining benzaldehyde derivatives. An alkylation of the obtained thioglycolurils with methyl iodide or 4-bromobenzyl bromide provided the corresponding 6-benzylideneamino-5-alkylsulfanyl-3,3a,6,6a-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazol-2(1H)-ones. The fungicidal activity of some synthesized compounds against pathogens causing diseases of agricultural crops was studied.
