1-Isonicotinoyl-4-aryl thiosemicarbazides,

(Ⅰ), synthesized by the addition reactions of isonicotinoyl hydrazinc with several aryl isothiocyanates, cyclized in the presence of base, acid, or mercuric salt, and the derivatives of 1, 2, 4-triazoline-5-thione (Ⅱ), 1, 3, 4-thiadiazole (Ⅲ) and 1,3,4-oxadiazole (Ⅳ) were obtained, respectively.Preliminary experiment showed that the compounds (Ⅰ) have great promoting effect on plant (wheat, cucumber etc.) growth.
