Process for preparing triazolinethione derivatives
According to a novel process, triazolinethione derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each as defined in the description can be prepared by reacting triazole derivatives of the formula ##STR2## with sulphur in the presence of an aprotic polar diluent at temperatures between 140.degree. C. and 160.degree. C., where the amounts of the reaction components are chosen such that between 6 and 15 mol of sulphur are present per mole of triazole derivative of the formula (II), and where air is passed over the reaction mixture during the reaction.

What is claimed is:
1. A process for preparing a triazolinethione derivative of the formula ##STR11##
in which
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and each represents optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aralkyl, optionally substituted aralkenyl, optionallysubstituted aroxyalkyl, optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl,
comprising reacting a triazole derivative of the formula ##STR12##
in which
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each as defined above
with sulphur in the presence of an aprotic polar diluent at temperatures between 140.degree. C. and 160.degree. C.,
where the amounts of the reaction components are chosen such that between 6 and 15 mol of sulphur are present per mole of triazole derivative of the formula (II),
and where air is passed over the reaction mixture during the reaction.
2. The process according to claim 1, characterized in that the aprotic polar diluent used is an amide, an N-alkyl-pyrrolidone or an N-alkyl-caprolactam.
3. The process according to claim 1, characterized in that the reaction is carried out at temperatures between 150.degree. C. and 160.degree. C.
4. The process according to claim 1, characterized in that the triazole derivative starting material used is 2-(1-chloro-cyclopropyl)-1-(2-chloro-phenyl)-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-propan -2-ol of the formula ##STR13##
