Reaction Steps

To a solution of the appropriate pyridine-carboxylic acid (1 eq.) and DIPEA (3 eq.) in DCM (20 mL/mmol), TBTU (1 eq.) is added. The mixture is stirred for 5 min before the appropriate pyridine-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1 eq.) is added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 1 h before it is diluted with DCM, washed with water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The remaining residue is dissolved in THF, Lawesson's reagent (2 eq.) is added and the mixture is stirred at 110° C. for 6 min under microwave irradiation. The mixture is diluted with EA, washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3, and concentrated. The crude product is purified by chromatography on prep. TLC plates or by prep. HPLC to give the desired 2,5-dipyridyl-[1,3,4]thiadiazole in 3-44% yield.
