Abstract

Oxadiazoles are heterocyclic compounds that belong azole class which contain two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen, forming a five-membered heterocyclic ring. Four isomers of oxadiazoles are described in the literature. Among these, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,5-oxadiazole, and 1,3,4-oxadiazole have several applications biological. Compounds of this type have been used in the treatment of various diseases in both humans and animals.Among the immense class of heterocycle compounds with important biological activities already identified, the 1,2,5-oxadiazoles have stood out for the wide variety of applications in medicinal chemistry, in material, and agricultural chemistry. In this work, the main synthesis methods and advances for obtaining 1,2,5-oxadiazoles and their derivatives reported in the literature over the years are reviewed, as well as the applications of these compounds in several branches of chemistry and their biological activities discovered until the moment.
