title: A novel four-component reaction for the synthesis of disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.
abstract: The 1:1 imine intermediate generated by the addition of benzyl amine to cyclobutanone is trapped by (N-isocyanimino)triphenylphosphorane in the presence of an aromatic carboxylic acid leads to the formation of the corresponding iminophosphorane intermediate. Disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives are formed via intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of the iminophosphorane intermediate. The reactions were completed in neutral conditions at room temperature. The disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives, were produced in excellent yields.
