Abstract

The synthesis of 3-(3-aryl-1, 2, 4-oxadiazol-5-yl) propionic acids from arylamidoximes and succinic anhydride under focused microwave irradiation conditions is described. The new synthetic method furnished the desired products in 2—3 min and good yields. Furthermore, the previously complicated purification procedure has been simplified in a manner which is quick, eco-friendly and cost-effective. Larvicidal bioassay and fungal growth inhibitory ...
