Silica sulfuric acid: An efficient and versatile acidic catalyst for the rapid and ecofriendly synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles at ambient temperature

A rapid and green synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is reported. The title compounds were prepared by the reaction of different acyl hydrazides and orthoesters in the presence of silica sulfuric acid under solvent-free conditions. In this new process, reactions were run at ambient temperature and completed in a short period of time with high yields. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Efficient synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles promoted by NH4Cl

An efficient and inexpensive approach to the synthesis of 2-substituted and 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from arylhydrazides and orthoesters is reported using catalytic NH4Cl. The conditions are mild, and thus, compatible with a variety of functional groups. The optimized reaction is performed using 30 mol % of NH4Cl in 100% EtOH and is generally complete within 1 h for non-aromatic orthoesters and 2-10 h for aromatic orthoesters. The reaction permits both electron-releasing and electron-withdrawing groups on the arylhydrazide substrate. Most products are formed in high yields and require only minimal purification. Compared with earlier reports, the current reactions proceed in shorter time and require less of the orthoester.

Efficient oxidative cyclization of N -acylhydrazones for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles using t-BuOI under neutral conditions

An efficient procedure for the oxidative cyclization of N -acylhydrazones was developed utilizing tert-butyl hypoiodite (t-BuOI), which is generated in situ from t -BuOCl and NaI. A variety of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized in high yields within short reaction time. The method is also suitable for cyclization of N -acylhydrazones derived from heterocyclic aldehydes and aliphatic aldehydes. Mild reaction conditions and simple workup operations make the procedure a good alternative for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles.

Oxadiazoles in medicinal chemistry

Oxadiazoles are five-membered heteroaromatic rings containing two carbons, two nitrogens, and one oxygen atom, and they exist in different regioisomeric forms. Oxadiazoles are frequently occurring motifs in druglike molecules, and they are often used with the intention of being bioisosteric replacements for ester and amide functionalities. The current study presents a systematic comparison of 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazole matched pairs in the AstraZeneca compound collection. In virtually all cases, the 1,3,4-oxadiazole isomer shows an order of magnitude lower lipophilicity (log D), as compared to its isomeric partner. Significant differences are also observed with respect to metabolic stability, hERG inhibition, and aqueous solubil ity, favoring the 1,3,4-oxadiazole isomers. The difference in profile between the 1,2,4 and 1,3,4 regioisomers can be rationalized by their intrinsically different charge distributions (e.g., dipole moments). To facilitate the use of these heteroaromatic rings, novel synthetic routes for ready access of a broad spectrum of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, under mild conditions, are described.

Alum (KAl(SO4)2 ? 12H2O): An efficient and inexpensive catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles under solvent-free conditions

Alum (KAl(SO4)2 ? 12H2O) catalyzed the efficient synthesis of mono- and disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by the condensation of acyl hydrazides with orthoesters under solvent-free conditions at 100°C. This methodology offers significant improvements for the synthesis of oxadiazoles with regard to the yield of products, simplicity in operation, inexpensive reagents, and green aspects by avoiding toxic catalysts and solvents.
