“…In addition, 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-ones are of interest as biologically active compounds [2]. The thermolysis [3,4] and basic hydrolysis [5,6] of oxadiazolones can give N'-substituted amidines which, in turn, are used as starting materials in the synthesis of heterocycles [7,8] and ligands [9,10] as well as in medicine, e.g. as inhibitors of cytomegalovirus DNA polymerase [11].…”
