“…Additionally, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are also widely used for the design of dipeptidomimetics as peptide building blocks. 8,9 Various methods for the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are available and these include: (i) condensation of amidoximes with derivatives of carboxylic acids followed by cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, (ii) cyclization of N-acylamidoximes, (iii) 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to nitriles, (iv) electrocyclic ring closure of ni- trenoids, and (v) oxidation of 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 10,11 and other derivatives of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. 12 A few reports are available on the synthesis of 3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-amine 13 and 1,2,4-oxadiazole-3,5-diamine.…”
