Abstract
Herein, we present an electrochemical approach for the synthesis of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles from N-acyl hydrazides and isothiocyanates. Using TBAI as the electrolyte enables a mild oxidative cyclization without the need for stoichiometric oxidants. The reaction proceeds via the in situ generation of a thiosemicarbazide intermediate, and demonstrated by its broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
