Solid‐Phase Approach for the Synthesis of 2‐Amido‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles

A new solid‐phase approach for the synthesis of 2‐amido‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles has been developed. In this synthesis, hydroxypentyl JandaJel polymer support was treated with excess of oxalyl chloride to give resin‐bound 2‐chloro‐2‐oxoacetate, and this intermediate was then coupled with different hydrazides to give resin‐bound 2‐(N′‐acylhydrazinyl)‐2‐oxoacetate. Intramolecular dehydrative cyclization of resulting resin‐bound linear precursor followed by direct amidation using aluminum amide reagent provided 5‐substituted 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles as 2‐carboxamides. To explore the scope of this reaction sequence, we synthesized a small set of library using a combination of hydrazides and amines, and the desired products were obtained in good to high yields.     

Click Inspired Synthesis of 1,2,3‐Triazole‐linked 1,3,4‐Oxadiazole Glycoconjugates

The glycoconjugation of biologically privileged 1,3,4‐oxadiazole scaffold is described via Cu(I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Screening for Analgesic and Anti‐Inflammatory Activities of Schiff Bases of 1,3,4‐Oxadiazoles Linked With Quinazolin‐4‐One

Sixteen Schiff bases of quinazolin‐4‐one‐linked 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles were synthesized by reaction with different aromatic aldehydes. Purity of newly synthesized derivatives was confirmed through thin‐layer chromatography, combustion analysis, and melting point. The structure of the derivatives was confirmed by determining infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopy. All the synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their analgesic and anti‐inflammatory activities in mice and rats, respectively. In animal studies, the derivative (E )‐3‐(5‐(4‐(4‐methoxybenzylideneamino)phenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐phenylquinazolin‐4(3H )‐one showed more potent analgesic activity and the derivative (Z )‐3‐(5‐(2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylideneamino)phenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐phenylquinazolin‐4(3H )‐one showed more potent anti‐inflammatory activity as compared with other derivatives. The results of the present study indicate that reactions of 3‐(5‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐phenylquinazolin‐4(3H )‐one and 3‐(5‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐phenylquinazolin‐4(3H )‐one with different aromatic aldehydes produce Schiff bases of quinazolin‐4‐one‐linked 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles with potent analgesic and anti‐inflammatory activities.

Synthesis,photophysics, structure‐tunable photoluminescence,and electrochemical properties of soluble poly(p‐phenylenevinylene)‐based polymers with adjacent 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles in the backbone

Three new poly(p‐phenylenevinylene)‐based polymers containing two 1,3,4‐oxadiazole moieties in the main chain per repeat unit were synthesized by Heck coupling. A single, double, or triple bond was introduced between the oxadiazoles to provide a means for modifying the polymer properties. The polymers were readily soluble in common organic solvents and showed T_g values lower than 50 °C. The color of the emissive light in both the solid state and the solution could be tuned by a change in the nature of the bond between the oxadiazole rings. The polymers emitted ultraviolet‐green light in solution with a photoluminescence (PL) emission maximum at 345–483 nm and blue‐green light at 458–542 nm in thin films. The PL quantum yields in solution were 0.36–0.43. The electrochemical properties are affected by the nature of the bond between the oxadiazoles as well. In polymers with a single bond between the oxadiazoles, a lower ionization potential was observed than in polymers with a double or triple bond. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Immobilization of Styrene‐Substituted 1,3,4‐Oxadiazoles into Thermoreversible Luminescent Organogels and Their Unexpected Photocatalyzed Rearrangement

A series of styrene‐substituted 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles has been designed and investigated as new low‐molecular‐weight organogelators. The photophysical properties of the resulting thermoreversible organogels have been characterized by UV/Vis absorption and luminescence spectroscopies. Surprisingly, the gelation ability of the oxadiazoles depended on the presence of the styrene moiety as gelation of the investigated oxadiazoles did not take place in its absence. Gel formation was accompanied by a modification of the fluorescence of the organogelators in the supramolecular state. UV irradiation of the gels caused a rearrangement of the immobilized 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles bearing a styrene moiety by a tandem [4+2] and [3+2] cascade reaction. Structure modification and color change of the gels were also evident upon irradiation.

Theoretical analysis of vibrational spectra and scaling‐factor of 2‐aryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole derivatives

In this study, the direct molecular structure implementations for calculating vibrational spectra and scaling factors, and infrared intensities at both the Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional (B3LYP) levels of theory with 6‐31G(d), 6‐311G(d), 6‐31++G(d,p), and 6‐311++G(d,p) basis sets are presented. Also, vibrational frequencies have been investigated as dependence on the choice of method and basis set. The parameters of molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies values of 2‐aryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles 5a–g in the ground state have been calculated. Theoretical determination of vibrational frequencies is quite useful both in understanding the relationship between the molecular structures and scaling factor. The data of 2‐aryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoles 5a–g display significant electronic properties provide the basis for future design of efficient materials having the oxadiazole core and theoretical IR studies. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
