Synthesis,X‐ray crystal structure and biological activities of α‐phenoxyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazoleacetamide

The annelation of 1,2,3‐thiadiazole rings was accomplished by the reaction of N‐acylhydrazone 2a bearing an adjacent α‐methyl with thionyl chloride to give α‐chloro‐N‐methyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazole‐4‐acetamide 4 and was demonstrated by the X‐ray crystal structure of its derivative 5a. A novel series of α‐substituted phenoxy‐N‐methyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazole‐4‐acetamide 5 were synthesized through the reaction of the compound 4 and phenols. The results of bioassays show that the title compounds exhibit good anti‐HBV activities. The crystal of compound 5a , N‐methyl‐α‐2‐bromophenyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazole‐4‐acetamide, has been prepared and determined by X‐ray diffraction.
