Abstract

The synthesis of 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-iminium bromides, which are intermediates in the most commonly used synthetic approach to imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles, and a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of one of these iminium bromides are described. Cyclization of the resulting 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-iminium bromides under microwave irradiation afforded imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]-thiadiazoles in 80-100% yields.
