An efficient synthesis for the preparation of some 2-furyl-5-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles by using both conventional and microwave method has been devised. The obtained results revealed that, microwave assisted technique is efficient, eco-friendly and inexpensive method which not only gives higher yield but also reduces the reaction time significantly. The resulting compounds were characterized by IR, 1 H-NMR and Mass spectral analysis.
