Abstract

A one-pot and three-component synthesis of 2-aryl-5-hydroxyalkyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles is described. N-Isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane, an aldehyde, and a carboxylic acid undergo a 1:1:1 addition reaction under mild conditions to afford the title compounds in good yields.

Procedure for the Preparation of 2-(4-Bromophenyl)-5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (5a)
A mixture of N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane (0.302 g, 1 mmol), acetaldehyde (0.176 g, 4 mmol), 4-bromobenz-oic acid (0.201 g, 1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 24 h. Then, the solvent was removed, and the residue was purified by column chromatography using n-hexane-EtOAc (5:1) as eluent. The solvent was removed, and the product was obtained as colorless crystals.
