Abstract

Symmetric and unsymmetric 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized in situ from hydrazine hydrate and the corresponding 2-acyl-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3-ones as acylating agents in polyphosphoric acid or BF3·OEt2 in excellent yields.

Attempted synthesis of unsymmetric 1,3,4-oxadiazole 3d starting from a mixture of benzoyl chloride (1 equiv) and 2,4-dichlorobenzoy chloride (1 equiv) gave a mixture of 2a, 3d and 2d (ca. 4:4:2 ratio by TLC).
