Abstract The syntheses of 3, 5-bis (3, 3-dinitrobutyl)-1, 2, 4-oxadiazole and a series of 3-aryl- 5-(3, 3-dinitrobutyl)-1, 2, 4-oxadiazoles were accomplished by treating 4, 4-dinitropentanoyl chloride with the appropriate amidoximes to yield the intermediate O-(4, 4-dinitropentanoyl) amidoximes, which were dehydrated to the 1, 2, 4-oxadiazoles.
