Abstract
Different new 1,3,4-thiadiazolopyridine derivatives (6, 8, 20, 28, and 42) were synthesized from 5-cyanomethyl-1,3-4-thiadiazole (1) and activated nitriles. Also, spiro indolono-thiadiazolopyridine (12) was obtained from the reaction of (1) with 2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)malononitrile (10). Other heterocyclic derivatives at position-5 in the thiadiazole ring were obtained for possible use as antimicrobial agents.
