Some 3-(Substituted methylthio)-4-phenyl-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized in six steps starting from easily accessible gallic acid. The resulting sulfides were then catalytically oxidized to the title sulfones with H2O2. The products were obtained in high yield under mild conditions and practically devoid of any by-products. The structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral data. Furthermore, a detailed X-ray crystallography structural analysis of model triazole 7g was carried out.
