Four-component synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives from N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane, aromatic carboxylic acids, aromatic bis-aldehydes, and secondary amines

Article abstract of DOI:10.3906/kim-1107-19

The 1:1 iminium intermediate generated by the addition of a secondary amine to aromatic bis-aldehydes (isophthalaldehyde and terphthalaldehyde) is trapped by the N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane in the presence of a aromatic carboxylic acid derivative,
