Synthesis and characterization of mono- and bicyclic heterocyclic derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-thia-, and -oxadiazole rings

A series of new N- and S-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized. 5-Pyridin-3-yl-3-2-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-l,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione and 5-(5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)methyl]-N-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine were formed by cyclization of 3-(5-pyridin-3-yl-2-thioxo-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3(2H)-ylpropanimidohydrazide and 2-(5-pyridin-3-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio]thiosemicarbazide with CS₂ and H₂SO₄. On the other hand, a number of new bicyclic 1,2,4-triazolo3,4-b]1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized. 6-Pyridin-3-ylbis1,2,4]‐triazolo3,4-b:4′,3′-d]1,3,4]thiadiazole-3(2H)-thione was synthesized by reaction of 6-(hydrazino)-3-pyridine-3-yl1,2,4]triazolo3,4-b]1,3,4]thiadiazole with CS₂/KOH/EtOH. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by the spectral and analytical data IR, Mass, and ¹H NMR spectra. Correspondence: Adel A.-H.
