Severa 1 aryl thi osemi ca rbazi des were synthes i zed by condens i ng p-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid hydrazide and diphenylphosphinoacetic acid hydrazide with suitable aryl isothiocyanates. Cyclisation of these thiosemi­carbazides with 2N sodium hydroxide afforded 5-substituted phosphino-4-aryl -3-mercapto-s-triazoles. When cyclisation was affected by concentrated sul­phuric acid, 2-arylamino-5-substituted phosphino-l,2,4-thiazoles were obtai­ned.
