The synthesis and structure of a new type of aromatic heterocyclic macrocycle. IV. Synthesis of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole-containing azomacrocycle

A novel azomacrocycle containing the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring has been prepared from 2,5-bis3-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole 5 and 2,5-bis(2-chloromethlylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole 8 . The coupling reaction between the diazonium salt 4 and bisphenol A has been reported.
