Abstract
1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR spectra of 2-acetylamino-1,3,4-thiadiazole and its 5-substituted derivatives have been measured and assigned based on reference data, as well as homo- and heteronuclear 2 D NMR experiments. In addition, the GIAO/DFT approach at the B3LYP level of theory using the 6-311G basis set was used to calculate the 13 C NMR chemical shifts. Although this method gives reliable results for 2-arylhydrazones of 1,3-diphenylpropanetrione, 2-phenacylpyridines, (Z)-2-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylvinyl)pyridines, 4-fluoroanilines, (1Z,3Z)-1,4-di(pyridin-2-yl)buta-1,3-dienediols and their tautomeric forms, the calculated chemical shifts for the 1,3,4-thiadiazoles studied are less satisfactory. Presence of the sulfur atom(s) seems to be responsible for such behavior.

Notes
a B3LYP/6-311G//RHF/3-21G.
b Assignment is based on the 15N NMR shift of unsubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole -7.9 ppm in DMSO-d.Citation16 In PFG 1H,15N HMBC H-5 of 1 shows cross-peaks with both ring nitrogens, the cross-peak with the signal at -22.8 ppm being more intensive supporting the above assignment.
c Not observed because H-5 is missing in these compounds and side chain NH is too far and its signal is too broad to give any cross-peaks with the ring nitrogens.
