Thiosemicarbazide was used as a key starting material for the building of a diversity of novel heterocyclic moieties. The heterocyclization reaction of thiosemicarbazide derivatives with carbon disulfide in basic conditions afforded novel heterocyclic 1,3,4-thiadiazolethiolate derivatives. 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol was successfully reacted with protected α-D-gluco- and galacto-pyranosyl bromides in dimethylformamide at room temperature to give the matching 1,3,4-thiadiazole
