Reaction of 4-substituted benzoic acid derivatives with (N-isocyanimino)-triphenylphosphorane proceeds smoothly at room temperature to afford the corresponding 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles via an intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction in excellent yields under neutral conditions. The structures of the products were deduced from their IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectra, and mass spectrometry.
