Abstract

Methods used for the synthesis of 3,5-substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are reviewed. The syntheses are based mostly on the use of primary amidoximes and acylating agents as the initial reactants. The pathway to another large group of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles proceeding from a broad spectrum of reactants is via their reactions of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, in particular, with primary amidoximes.
