Abstract

A general, facile, and efficient method is presented for the synthesis of 3-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from amidoximes and triethyl orthoformate. The procedure employs an iron(III) chloride/l-proline catalytic system and the 3-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole products are obtained in moderate to good yields.
