“…The recent methodologies for preparation of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles include oxidative cyclization of aroyl/acyl hydrazones using catalytic Fe(III)/TEMPO [30], IBX/TEAB [31], catalytic Cu(OTf) 2 [32], and stoichiometric molecular I 2 [33]; cyclization of acylhydrazines using PPA or BF 3 ·OEt 2 and others [34][35][36]. The one-pot methodologies include synthesis from aryltetrazoles using DTBP/DCE, by dehydrative cyclization of ethyl carbazate and N-acylbenzotriazoles using Ph 3 P-I 2 [37], and three-component reaction of isocyaniminotriphenyl-phosphorane, aldehyde, and benzoic acid under mild conditions [38].…”
