Thiophene is a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing a sulfur heteroatom with the molecular formula C4H4S. Thiophene is aromatic and is very similar to benzene; electrophilic substitution reaction is easier than benzene, and it is mainly substituted at the 2-position. Thiophene ring system has certain stability to oxidant.
Thiazoles are very important functional groups in medicinal chemistry. They act as ligands on a variety of biological matrices. Thiazoles are used in a wide range of therapeutic applications, such as antibacterial, antiretroviral, antifungal, antiallergic, antihypertensive, pain treatment, and to control symptoms of schizophrenia.
Oxadiazoles are a class of heterocyclic aromatic compounds with the molecular formula C2H2N2O, which have special biological activities and thermodynamic properties. Five-membered heterocyclic moieties composed of three or two heteroatoms are of great interest to researchers because these compounds show significant therapeutic potential. These heterocycles can serve as a building block for the development of novel molecular structures.
