A novel visible-light-catalyzed oxidative N-S bond formation for the synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4thiadiazoles has been developed. This protocol features a metal-free approach, green oxidant, room temperature process, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, excellent yields and a one-pot reaction without the isolation of the intermediates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
