Abstract

A novel one-pot solvent-free synthesis of 1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles and 1, 3, 4-thiadiazoles by condensation of acid hydrazide and triethyl orthoalkanates under microwave irradiations is reported. This green protocol was catalyzed efficiently by solid supported Nafion® NR50 and phosphorus pentasulfide in alumina (P4S10/Al2O3) with excellent yields.
