Syntheses and biological activities of 2-(3-methylbenzoylamino)-5-arloxymethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

摘要

1-Aryloxyacetyl-4-(3-methylbenzoyl)-thiosemicarbazides 3a-h are synthesized under phase transfer catalysis. Compounds 3a-h on cyclization with mercuric acetate i glacial acetic acid furnish 2-(3-methylbenzoylamino)-5-arloxymethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 4a-h. The preliminary activities of 4 on promoting wheat growth are tested.
