C5‐Alkyl‐1,3,4‐Oxadiazol‐2‐ones Undergo Dealkylation upon Nitrogen Insertion to Form 2H‐1,2,4‐Triazol‐3‐ones: Synthesis of 1,2,4‐Triazol‐3‐one Hybrids with Triazolothiadiazoles and Triazolothiadiazines

The present study emphasizes on the dealklylation of 3‐aryl‐5‐alkyl‐2‐oxo‐Δ⁴‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles when reacted with formamide resulting in the formation of 2‐aryl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3(4H )‐ones as major product. Subsequent reactions of 2‐aryl‐2H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3(4H )‐one gave triazolo3,4‐b ]1,3,4]thiadiazoles and triazolo3,4‐b ]1,3,4]thiadiazines derivatives incorporated with 1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐one.
