multi-steps reactions [53-56]. They offer significant
advantages over the conventional linear step syntheses, by
reducing time, saving money, energy and raw-materials. At
the same time, diversity can be achieved for building up
libraries by simply changing each component [57,58].

EXPERIMENTAL
General
NMR spectra were recorded on a 500 MHz NMR
spectrometer using CDCl3 as the solvent. Chemical shifts
have been expressed in (ppm). Water and other solvents
were distilled before use. Silica gel was used for column
chromatography, diluted with petroleum ether and ethyl
acetate. Alkyl halides, CS2, and other chemicals were
purchased from Merck, and used without further
purification.

General Procedure for the One-Pot Preparation of 5-
Aryl-2-thio-1,3,4-oxadiazoles in Water
Acid hydrazide (1 mmol), CS2 (3 mmol) and triethylamine
(1.5 mmol) were combined in water (5 ml) in a 25 ml round-
bottom flask. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for
1 h. Then alkyl halide (1.2 mmol) was added and the mixture
was stirred for additional 6 h. Then the mixture was heated in
a 90 °C oil bath to bring the mixture to reflux for 8 h, and then
was cooled to room temperature. EtOAc (10 ml) and 1 N HCl
(10 ml) were added, and the mixture was vigorously stirred for
5 min. The aqueous layer was removed and extracted with
EtOAc (10 ml) and the combined organic layers were dried
over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under
reduced pressure to give the desired product. The crude
product was purified by flash column chromatography and in
some cases they were crystallized from ethanol to provide the
pure product. All the compounds were characterized on the
basis of their spectroscopic data.
