Recent Literature

A one-pot reaction between nitriles, hydroxylamine and Meldrum’s acids under
microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions gives 3,5-disubstituted
1,2,4-oxadiazoles in good to excellent yields.

A series of α-amino acid-derived 1,2,4-oxadiazoles have been synthesized via a
convenient and inexpensive one-pot protocol in good yields and in relatively
short reaction times.
