“…Several synthetic protocols for the preparation of 1,3,4-thiadiazole-containing bioactive compounds have been developed and summarised [2,8,17,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33], the main part based on ring-closure reactions. Variable procedures are applied, like intramolecular cyclization of thiosemicarbazides [15,25] or potassium salt of hydrazinodithio formate [34] in concentrated sulphuric acid, condensation of thiosemicarbazide with carboxylic acids [35], benzoic acids [36,37], or N-arylsulfonylated amino acids [38], thiocarbohydrazides with aldehydes [39], hydrazinecarbodithioates or thiosemicarbazones with hydrazonoyl chlorides [40], sulfonamide diazonium chlorides with phenacyl thiocyanate [41], etc. At the same time, methods using an already built 1,3,4-thiadiazole unit are also exploited.…”
