Herein, we report an efficient strategy to synthesize functionalized 1,3-thiazoles using alkyl 2-amino-2-thioxoacetates. Thioamides, the synthetic precursors, react effortlessly with electrophilic reagents and are transformed into a series of phenyl-, methyl-, and acyl-substituted thiazoles with high functionalization at the 2 position through sequential C-S/C-N bond formation. Rapid reaction times under metal-free mild conditions is a noteworthy feature of the reported protocol.

Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives, 2-methoxybenzyl 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylate () (), and methoxybenzyl 5-(3-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylate () obtained through desulfurative cyclization reaction. The compound was crystallized, and its crystal structure was elucidated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out to analyze, visualize and globally appreciate the weak interactions involved in crystal packing.

An acid-catalyzed regioselective cyclization reaction of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles has been developed. The synthetic precursors alkyl 2-(methylthio)-2-thioxoacetates/alkyl 2-amino-2-thioxoacetates react efficiently with acyl hydrazides, which transformed into a series of dehydrative and desulfurative products with employment of -TSA and AcOH through a regioselective cyclization process. The alkyl 2-amino-2-thioxoacetate pathway generates excellent yield among the mentioned procedures.

Two novel thiazole derivatives, () and () have been synthesized, and their crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction. To rationalize their structure, reactivity and druggability, we have performed a series of separate, but complementary studies. Hirshfeld surface and 2D-fingerprint plots were first scrutinized to qualitatively unveil all the intermolecular interactions that ensure their crystal packing.

The regioisomeric products were confirmed based on X-ray diffraction studies. An advantage of the present method is the wide-ranging isocyanide reactivity compared to earlier protocols, while the catalyst-free nature and rapid reaction times are noteworthy features.
