1,2,4-옥사디아졸

개요1,2,4-Oxadiazole is a five-membered, planar, conjugated, nonbenzonoid, aromatic heterocyclic system comprised of one oxygen atom and two nitrogen atoms at positions 2 and 4 of the oxadiazole ring. The oxadiazole ring has two pyridine-like nitrogen atoms. Positions 3 and 5 are vulnerable for nucleophilic substitution to form 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The topography of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring reveals that it has a more heterodiene character compared to its aromatic nature. The substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring system was first reported in 1880 but the parent 1,2,4-oxadiazole was not reported until 1962 because of instability of the molecule.

용도1,2,4-Oxadiazole can be used in biological study of antitubercular activity of butyrate-specific oxadiazoles against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and their cytotoxicity on monkey kidney cells.
