Abstract
A mixture of N-chlorosuccinimide and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene oxidatively cyclizes structurally diverse acyl hydrazone, thereby providing an efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of various 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The salient features of this method are mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, excellent yields, and simple workup procedure.
