and refinement processes, the ORTEP-3 [40] program was used for
molecular drawings and PLATON [41], WinGX [40], and MERCURY
[42] programs were used for calculations. Theoretical calculations
related to the compounds were performed with the 6-31G(d) basis
set [43], the DFT(B3LYP) [44] theory, the Gaussian09 program [45],
and the Gausview 5 program [46] which was used to examine
Gaussian outputs graphically.
C-2 carbon signals of the 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole ring in these
compounds were recorded in the range of 159.03e148.35 ppm and
C-5 carbon signals were recorded in the range of
170.19e169.46 ppm. In addition, sp3 hybridized methylene group
(eS-CH2) carbons appeared in compounds 14 and 20 at 35.77 ppm
and 35.52 ppm, respectively. Methylene group (eOCH2) carbons in
the compound 25 appeared at 65.16 ppm due to the electronega-
tivity of the oxygen atom. sp3 hybridized methylene group (eCH2)
carbon signals in the 2aec compounds were recorded in the range
of 35.83e30.57 ppm. While sp3 hybridized vinyl group (eCH]CH)
carbons in compound 14 were observed at 128.96 ppm, C]C car-
bon peaks in compounds 20 and 25 were observed at 133.39 and
135.13 ppm, respectively. The data belonging to the 2-amino-1,3,4-
thiadiazole ring is highly compatible with the data found in the
literature [50]. Other spectral data belonging to the carbon skeleton
of the molecule fully supports the suggested structures. In the mass
spectra belonging to these compounds, it was observed that mo-
lecular ion peaks appeared to be compatible with the suggested
structures and they supported the structures.
In the second part of the study, compounds 3e11, 15e17, 21e23,
and 26e28 were synthesized in moderate to high yields (65e85%)
from the reactions of acyl chloride derivatives with 2-amino-1,3,4-
thiadiazole derivatives (2aec, 14, 20, and 25) in the presence of dry
benzene.
In the IR spectra of these compounds, eNH2 group symmetric
and asymmetric absorption bands disappeared that were found in
the initial compounds and observed in the 3296e3112 cmꢁ1 range.
The most significant evidence that these compounds were acylated
is the fact that eNH absorption bands observed in the range of
3176e3117 cmꢁ1 formed in compounds 3e11, 15e17, 21e23, and
26e28. Other important evidence is the emergence of carbonyl
group (C]O) absorption bands seen in the range of
1699e1657 cmꢁ1 as a result of the acylation of 2-amino-1,3,4-
thiadiazole.
eNH2 group proton signals observed in the range of
7.37e7.02 ppm disappeared in 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole de-
rivatives (2aec, 14, 20, 25) which were the initial compounds of
these compounds in the 1H NMR spectra. Instead of these signals, a
singlet corresponding to one proton in the 13.36e12.41 ppm range
was observed in compounds 3e11. A singlet corresponding to two
protons in the 13.42e12.52 ppm range was also observed in com-
pounds 15e17. A singlet corresponding to four protons in the
13.38e12.30 ppm range was observed in compounds 21e23 and
26e28, and this data is the most important evidence that these
compounds were acylated.
In addition, peaks observed in the 7.37e7.02 ppm range of the-
NH2 group in 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (2aec, 14, 20,
25) shifted to high ppm values after the acylation due to the elec-
tron withdrawing property of the carbonyl group. This data is
considered as more important evidence regarding these structures
and it is consistent with findings in the literature [51]. eNH proton
signals (eNHeC]O) of resulting compounds 3e11, 15e17, 21e23
and 26e28 observed at 13.38e12.30 ppm disappeared after the
exchange treatment with D2O.
These compounds' C]O group signals belonging to the acyl
group in 13C NMR spectra appeared in the range of
169.57e160.36 ppm. The fact that these peaks were found in 13C
NMR spectrum is also considered important evidence that the
amino group at the 2-position of the thiadiazole ring was acylated.
Other 13C NMR spectra results of these compounds are given in
detail in the Supplementary Material Section.
On the other hand, mass spectra of all synthesized compounds
were observed as expected and supported by molecular ion peaks.
Spectra (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass) of all synthesized com-
pounds are given in the Supplementary Material Section.
4. Results and discussion
In the first part of the study, 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole de-
rivatives (2aec, 14, 20, and 25) were synthesized in high yields
(74e87%) from the reaction of nitrile compounds (1aec, 13, 19, and
24) with thiosemicarbazide in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at 60 ꢀC.
Nitrile derivatives used as initial compounds (1aec) were obtained
by purchase, while nitrile compounds (13, 19, and 24) were ob-
tained as specified in the literature [47,48].
Compelling data from the experiment includes the fact that
sharp absorption bands belonging to the eC^N group observed in
the range of 2220e2269 cmꢁ1 in nitrile derivatives in IR spectrum
disappeared, and symmetric and asymmetric absorption bands
corresponding to the eNH2 group in 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole
derivatives emerged as two separate bands in the range of
3296e3112 cmꢁ1. This data provides the most important evidence
for cyclization.
The structures of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (2aec,
14, 20, and 25) were also confirmed by the assistance of 1H NMR
spectroscopy.
The eNH2 group proton signals of compounds 2aec bonded to
1,3,4-thiadiazole ring from C-2 position in 1H NMR spectra were
recorded as a singlet corresponding to two protons in the range of
7.14e7.02 ppm. Proton peaks belonging to the eNH2 group dis-
appeared as a result of the protonedeuterium exchange performed
with D2O. The methylene (eCH2) protons bonding thiophene and
phenyl groups to the thiadiazole ring from the 5-position were
observed as a singlet corresponding to two protons in the range of
4.36e4.04 ppm. Proton peaks belonging to the thiophene ring were
determined as a doublet corresponding to one proton at 6.93 and
6.96 ppm and as a doublet of a doublet corresponding to one proton
at 7.38 ppm.
In compound 14, the eNH2 proton signal at the 2-position of the
thiadiazole ring was observed as a singlet corresponding to four
protons at 7.31 ppm. In compounds 20 and 25, tetra analogs of
compound 14, the proton signal was observed as a singlet corre-
sponding to eight protons at 7.37 ppm and 7.14 ppm, respectively. In
compound 14, methylene protons (eS-CH2) were observed as a
singlet corresponding to four protons at 3.69 ppm, while in com-
pound 20, these peaks were determined to be a singlet corre-
sponding to eight protons at 3.88 ppm. In compound 25, the
methylene protons (eO-CH2) bonded to the aromatic ring were
observed as a singlet corresponding to eight protons at 5.21 ppm in
the low field due to electronegativity of the oxygen atom. Vinylic
(eCH]CH) protons in the compound 14 were observed as a broad
singlet at 5.76 ppm. Singlet peaks observed at 7.14 ppm, 7.31 ppm,
and 7.37 ppm disappeared almost entirely and supported the sug-
gested structures, especially in exchange treatments of the eNH2
groups bonded to the 2-position of thiadiazole in these compounds
with D2O. Other 1H NMR spectra results of these structures are
given in detail in the Supplementary Material Section.
The structures of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (2aec,
14, 20, and 25) were also confirmed by the assistance of 13C NMR
spectroscopy. In 13C NMR spectra, it was observed that resonance
values of carbons at C-2 and C-5 positions of the 2-amino-1,3,4-
thiadiazole ring were highly compatible with these types of com-
pounds in the literature [49].
