The efficient synthesis of 3-[6-(substituted)-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-3-yl]-1H-indazole

This study presents an efficient synthesis of 3-6-(substituted-phenyl)-1,2,4]triazolo3,4-b]1,3,4] thiadiazol-3-yl]-1H-indazole via dehydrative condensation with cyclization of 4-amino-5-(1H-indazol-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4]triazole-3-thiol and fluorinated or nonfluorinated carboxylic acids in presence of phosphorous oxychloride. The multistep reaction pathway proceeds through different compounds. Present synthesis has the advantages of easily accessible starting materials, convenient synthesis, simple reaction condition, wider substrate scope, and higher yield (75% to 90% isolated).
