Preclinical evaluation reveals potent inhibition by synthesized 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in hepatoma cells, suggesting broad applications for medicinal chemistry.
An unparalleled copper(I)-catalyzed synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from tertiary amines in one step has been described. The one-pot reactions involving (N-isocyanimine)triphenylphosphorane , tertiary amines , and carboxylic acids resulted in the formation of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles in moderate to good yields through a consecutive oxidative Ugi/aza-Wittig reaction, enabling direct functionalization of sp3 C-H bonds adjacent to the nitrogen atom. This method offered several notable advantages, including mild reaction conditions, ligands free, exceptional productivity and high functional group tolerance. The preliminary biological evaluation demonstrated that compound 4f inhibited hepatoma cells efficiently, suggesting potentially broad applications of the approach for synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
