Rearrangements of 1,2,4-Oxadiazole: “One Ring to Rule Them All”
2017
[Figure not available: see fulltext.] 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles are heterocycles characterized by low aromaticity and the presence of a weak OâN bond and are widely studied due to their tendency to rearrange into more stable heterocyclic compounds. This review covers literature from the last fifteen years, highlighting the general features of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and their applications. Regarding the reactivity, the development of classical reactions (thermal and photochemical rearrangements) is presented in terms of synthetic utility and mechanistic insight. Among the relevant rearrangement reactions, the BoultonâKatritzky Rearrangement (BKR), Migration â Nucleophilic Attack â Cyclization (MN…
Interplay of acidity and ionic liquid structure on the outcome of a heterocyclic rearrangement reaction
2021
The study of suitable probe reactions is a powerful tool to investigate the properties of nonconventional solvents such ionic liquids (ILs). In particular, we studied the acid-catalyzed mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles (MHR) of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant 1,2,3-triazole, in solution of ILs by means of kinetic measurements. We chose as solvents six ILs differing both in the cation and anion, in the presence of five carboxylic and sulfonic acids as catalysts. For a useful comparison, the reaction was also performed in 1,4-dioxane and methanol. In general, the reaction occurs faster in ILs, compared to conventional solvents, according …
Photochemical isomerization of aryl hydrazones of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives into the corresponding triazoles
2012
The photochemical version of the Boulton-Katritzky reaction has been studied, examining the behaviour of the arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-X-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The effect of several modifications of the substrates structure (the E and/or Z structures of arylhydrazones, the possible presence of substituents in the arylhydrazono moiety, and the nature of substituents at C-5 of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring) on the course of the photochemical rearrangement has been examined.
Synthesis of 4(5)-phenacyl-imidazoles from isoxazole side-chain rearrangements
2010
A novel base-induced rearrangement of isoxazoles into imidazole derivatives is reported. In the isoxazole series, this represents the first example of a three-atom side-chain rearrangement involving a CNC sequence. The reactions are carried out under nitrogen and produced 2-aryl-4(5)-phenacyl-5(4)-phenyl-imidazoles in high yields. In the presence of oxygen, a cascade rearrangement-oxidation reaction sequence was observed and imidazole derivatives bearing an oxidized side-chain were isolated.
Unexpected Substituent Effects in the Iso-Heterocyclic Boulton-Katritzky Rearrangement of 3-Aroylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles: A Mechanistic Stud…
2019
The kinetics of the iso-heterocyclic mononuclear rearrangement of some 3-aroylamino-5-methyl-1,2,4-ozadiazoles was carefully examined under largely variable acidic or alkaline conditions. This reaction may proceed via two different mechanistic pathways (an uncatalyzed and a base-catalyzed one), as accounted for also by the evaluation of the relevant activation parameters. Substituent effects, as quantified by means of the Hammett’s equation, appear relatively modest; however, they reveal some interesting anomalies, which enabled us to draw a very precise picture of the intimate reaction course.
1,2,4-Oxadiazole rearrangements involving an NNC side-chain sequence.
2009
The thermal rearrangement of N-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl-hydrazones into 1,2,4-triazole derivatives is reported. This represents the first example of a three-atom side-chain rearrangement involving an NNC sequence linked at the C(3) of the oxadiazole. The reactions carried out under solvent-free conditions produced good to high yields of the final products.

Exploiting the CNC Side Chain in Heterocyclic Rearrangements: Synthesis of 4(5)-Acylamino-imidazoles
2010
A new variation on the Boulton-Katritzky reaction is reported, namely, involving use of a CNC side chain. A novel Montmorillonite-K10 catalyzed nonreductive transamination of a 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole afforded a 3-(alpha-aminobenzyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole, which was condensed with benzaldehydes to afford the corresponding imines. In the presence of strong base, these imines underwent Boulton-Katritzky-type rearrangement to afford novel 4(5)-acylaminoimidazoles.
