Abstract
Michael addition reaction of the 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole to chalcone as biselectrophile afforded 5,7-diphenyl-6-[ 1,3-diphenylpropan-1-on-3-yl][1,3,4] thiadiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidine (3) instead of 5,7-diphenyl-5H-[1,3,4] thiadiazolo[3,2-a] pyrimidine (5) via further Michael addition at C-5 in pyrimidine moiety. The structure 3 was established through the aspect of ab initio calculations, elemental analysis and spectral data. (C) 2012 Cairo University. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
