Abstract

Several new 2-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)-1-arylethan-1-ones were synthesized in excellent yields using simple procedures. Reaction of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbohydrazide (1) with carbon disulfide in ethanol and in the presence of potassium hydroxide at 0°C to room temperature for 6 h gave potassium 2-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonyl)hydrazine-1-carbodithioate (2) as an intermediate. Subsequent in situ treatment of 2 with aqueous ethanol under reflux for 6 h, followed by neutralization with hydrochloric acid, gave 5-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (3) in 70% yield. Reactions of thiol 3 with various phenacyl bromides 4 in ethanol in basic medium under reflux for 5 h gave the corresponding 2-(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio)-1-arylethan-1-ones 5a–f in 83%–88% yields. The structures of the newly synthesized heterocycles were elucidated using spectroscopic data and single-crystal x-ray structure determination. The intermolecular interactions in the crystal structures were explored.
