Abstract

Applying continuous flow processing in a high-temperature/high-pressure regime (200–220° C, 11–14bar) 2, 5-disubstituted-1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles are prepared in high yields within 5– 10min residence time by treatment of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles with anhydrides or acid chlorides as electrophiles (Huisgen reaction).
