Microwave Assisted Synthesis of 2-(4-Methoxylbenzoylamido)-5-Aryloxymethyl-1,3,4-Thiadiazoles

Abstract

4-Methoxylbenzoyl chloride reacting with ammonium thiocyanate and aryloxyacetic acid hydrazides under phase transfer catalysis at room temperature gives 1-aryloxyacetyl-4-(4-methoxylbenzoyl)-thiosemicarbazides (Ia-m). Compounds Ia-m together with glacial acetic acid on exposure to microwave irradiation lead to the formation of 2-(4-methoxylbenzoylamido)-5-aryloxymethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles (IIa-m) in excellent yields.
