Synthesis of 1,2,4-Thiadiazoles by Oxidative Dimerization of Carbothioamides by Using Oxone

1,2,4‐Thiadiazoles were efficiently synthesized in good yields through the oxidative dimerization of carbothioamides by using Oxone as a readily available, inexpensive, and environmentally safe oxidant. A similar reaction of phenylselenoamide led to the corresponding 1,2,4‐phenylselenadiazole in high yield. 1,2,4‐Thiadiazoles are efficiently synthesized in good yields through the oxidative dimerization of carbothioamides by using Oxone as a readily available, inexpensive, and environmentally safe oxidant.
