Synthesis of 1,3,4‐Oxadiazoles and 1,3‐Thiazolidinones Containing 1,4,5,6‐Tetrahydro‐6‐pyridazinone

The reaction of 1,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐6‐pyridazinone‐3‐carboxylic acid hydrazides ( 1 ) with aromatic aldehydes afforded 1,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐6‐pyridazinone‐3‐carbonyl aromatic aldehyde hydrazones ( 2a‐2g ). Heterocyclic derivatives linked 1,3,4‐oxadiazole obtained by cyclocondensation of 2a‐2g with acetic anhydride in absolute ethanol, and 2a‐2g cyclized with mercaptoacetic acid in DMF in the presence of anhydrous ZnCl₂ afforded the 1,3‐thiazolidinone derivatives. The structures of the new compounds were established by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR and MS spectral data.
