Newer improved molecules are needed with lesser side effects and with improved physical properties. In view of these facts, a series of novel 4, 5-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles (6a-o) were synth...

In this manuscript, we describe the synthesis of the carbohydrazide 2. Acid-catalyzed condensation with several carbonyl compounds to afford the corresponding carbohydrazide derivatives 3-12. Their acetylation afforded the corresponding acetyl derivatives 13-22. Oxidative cyclization of O-acetyl derivatives 19-22 afforded the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives 23-2...
