Abstract
Abstract When 3-bromo-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1b) is heated with sodium azide in anhydrous dimethylformamide at 130°, 3-dimethylamino-( 1c ) and 3-dimethylaminomethyleneamino-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 1d ) are formed, the latter by a new deoxygenative coupling of the azide ( 1a ), or the nitrene derived from it, with the solvent.
