The title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)O, adopts the expected near-planar geometry, the phenyl and tolyl rings being inclined relative to the oxadiazole ring by 3.8 (3) and 8.3 (2)°, respectively. This allows adjacent mol-ecules to pack in a parallel fashion and form stacking along [010] via π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.629 (2) and 3.723 (2) Å]. Further inter-molecular inter-ac...

Glycogen phosporylase (GP) is a promising target for the control of glycaemia. The design of inhibitors binding at the catalytic site has been accomplished through various families of glucose-based derivatives such as oxadiazoles. Further elaboration of the oxadiazole aromatic aglycon moiety is now reported with 3-glucosyl-5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles synthesized by condensation of a C-glucosyl am...

1,3,4-oxadiazoles are interesting compounds because of their valuable biological effects such as cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-tubercular activities. Ethyl mandelate was treated with hydrazine hydrate to yield the corresponding acylhydrazide. Some of the 2,5 disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were prepared from acylhydrazide using three different procedures. In the firs...

In the present investigation, two novel series of 2-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)propan-3-one]-5-(substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole and 2-[3-(4-ethylphenyl)propan-3-one]-5-(substituted phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole were synthesized and tested for their antiinflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and antibacterial actions. A fair number of compounds were found to have very good antiinflammatory activity in car...

α-Imino gold carbenoid species have been recognized as key intermediates in a plethora of processes involving gold-activated alkynes. Here, we explored the pathways Au(I)-catalyzed [3 + 2] reaction between mild nucleophiles: anthranil, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, or 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole, and an ynamide, PhC≡C-N(Ts)Me, proceeding via formation aforementioned α-imino carbene intermediate which, aft...

In the title compound, C(9)H(6)Cl(2)N(2)O, the dihedral angle between the oxadiazole and benzene rings is 1.7 (2)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into chains along the b axis by short inter-molecular Cl⋯O contacts [3.019 (3) Å].

In the title compound, C(14)H(8)Cl(2)N(2)O, the dihedral angles between the plane of the oxadiazole ring and those of the benzene rings are 2.3 (1) and 9.5 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains along the c axis by C-H⋯Cl inter-actions. These chains are stacked along the a axis.

The title mol-ecule, C(12)H(12)N(2)O(3)S, is composed of two individually planar units, viz. 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-sulfanyl and ethyl acetate, which are oriented at almost right angles [80.07 (8)°] with respect to each other. The structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The phenyl and oxadiazole rings show π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centr...

Two novel series of unsymmetrically substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole viz., R.Ox.C(*)C n compounds are synthesized and characterized. An optically active, (S)-(+)-methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate is used to introduce a chiral center in the molecule. A biphenyl moiety prepared by Suzuki coupling reaction is directly attached to the oxadiazole core at C-5 position. Investigations for the phase beha...
