A Convenient One-Pot and Rapid Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Biologically Active

A rapid and efficient one-pot protocol has been developed for the synthesis of s-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine and s-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole nanoarchitectonics through the reaction of s-triazoles with ketones and nitriles in acetic acid containing a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid under microwave irradiation in excellent yields. With this catalytic reaction, the cheap sulfuric acid as well as other acids were examined as catalysts and the highly toxic and irritating haloketones and halonitriles were avoided to form. The effects of microwave power, temperature, time, solvent and catalyst were examined. This method achieved a better performance; e.g., higher yields, shorter reaction time and easier work-up as compared to other conventional methods. Therefore, the proposed method will be readily applicable to the synthesis of biologically important compounds containing s-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine and s-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole framework.
