The reaction of hydrazine hydrate with carbon disulfide and 4-methylbenzyl chloride in basic solution yielded 2,5-bis(4-methylbenzylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (C18H18N2S3, compound 1) in addition to the expected S-4-methylbenzyldithiocarbazate. The molecule has approximate twofold symmetry with the C=S...
