Abstract

A simple and efficient cationic Fe(III)/TEMPO-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of aroyl hydrazones has been developed for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The reaction offers a broad scope, good functional-group tolerance, and high yields under mild conditions in the presence of O2.
