Abstract

An efficient one-pot method has been developed to access 5-amino-2-(het)aroyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles through I2/DMSO-promoted oxidative cyclization of 4-phenylsemicarbazide with (het)aryl methyl ketones under mild conditions. This reaction proceeds smoothly with a wide range of methyl ketones containing various functional groups to give the corresponding products in moderate yields under mild conditions.

The reaction was then quenched with 5% aq Na2S2O3 (20 mL), and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated, and the residue was purified by chromatography (silica gel).
