“…The 2-aralkyl/alkyl/-6-aryl-imidazo[2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives 5-12, reported in Scheme 1, were prepared by reaction of 2-amino-5-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 1-3, with the appropriate phenacyl bromide (4). The compounds 5-9 were previously reported in the literature 18,19 and compound 12 reported in literature 20 without spectral data. For the compound 11, although commercial, we set up a procedure for its synthesis.…”
