Abstract
An efficient one-pot synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-amines from simple starting materials, isothiocyanates, amidines/guanidines, and hydroxylamine, is described. The reaction is facilitated by metallic-thiophile-assisted desulfurization of in situ formed amidino- or guanidinothiourea to give chemoselectively N -hydroxyguanidine intermediates that give exclusively various 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-amines in good to excellent yields. The reaction mechanistic pathway may proceed through an intramolecular 5 - exo - trig cyclization.
