A metal-free tandem approach to prepare structurally diverse N-heterocycles: synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and pyrimidinones
N-heterocycles, namely 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and 2,6 disubstituted pyrimidin-4-ones, have been synthesised in one pot via carboxamidation of amidines with aryl carboxylic acids and aryl propargylic acids under metal-free conditions.
