Electrochemical oxidation of aldehyde-N-arylhydrazones into symmetrical-2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

A convenient, efficient and one-pot synthesis of chemically and pharmaceutically interesting symmetrical-2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles is reported. The protocol involves anodic oxidation of aldehyde-N-arylhydrazones in anhyd. MeCN-LiClO4. Constant potential electrolysis carried out in an undivided cell and platinum electrodes leads to the formation of the corresponding oxadiazoles under ambient condition and the mechanism was deduced from voltammetry studies. The reaction proceeded smoothly with high atom economy. Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013.

Electrosynthesis and screening of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazoles as potent and selective antifungal agents

The electrochemical oxidation of aldehyde-N-aroylhydrazone has been studied in the presence of NaClO4 as supporting electrolyte in MeOH solution using cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis. The results indicate that intramolecular cyclization of aldehyde-N-aroylhydrazone has been successfully performed at a platinum electrode in an undivided cell with good yields of the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles at ambient conditions. The reaction products were characterized by spectroscopic methods and a mechanism was deduced from voltammetry studies. The antifungal activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated on Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria solani, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The results revealed that all the synthesized compounds have significant antifungal activity against the tested fungi. Among the synthesized derivatives 7b, 7d, 7g, 7h, 7i, 7j and 7r were found to be the most effective antifungal compounds. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

3-Acetyl-2,5-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazoles: A new scaffold for the selective inhibition of monoamine oxidase B

3-Acetyl-2,5-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were designed, synthesized, and tested as inhibitors against human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B isoforms. Several compounds, obtained as racemates, were identified as selective MAO-B inhibitors. The enantiomers of some derivatives were separated by enantioselective HPLC and tested. The R-enantiomers always showed the highest activity. Docking study and molecular dynamic simulations demonstrated the putative binding mode. We conclude that these 1,3,4-oxadiazoles derivatives are promising reversible and selective MAO-B inhibitors.
