“…34 Azab et al have reported a two-step method for 5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidin-5-ones, which involved the reaction of 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles to ethyl cyanoacetate and tandem reduction and deamination in the presence of phosphorus pentoxideformic acid. 35 Zhao et al have described the synthesis of 5H- [1,3,4]thiadiazolo [3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate derivatives using aldehydes, 2-amino-thiadiazole and acetoacetate by onepot MCR strategy under microwave irradiation. 36 The synthesis of anticancer compounds, 7-substituted-phenyl-8,8adihydro-7H- [1,3,4]thiadiazolo [3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carbonitriles was achieved by Tiwari and co-workers from the one-pot reaction of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2 amine, aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile under ultrasonic irradiation and NaOH.…”
