Oxidation of metronidazole (4) with sodium dichromate yielded the corresponding 2‐(2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐1__H__‐imidazol‐1‐yl)acetic acid (5) which was esterified with 1‐butanol to give butyl 2‐(2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐1__H__‐imidazol‐1‐yl)acetate (8). Reaction of the latter with hydrazine hydrate gave 2‐(2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐1__H__‐imidazol‐1‐yl)acetohydrazide (9). Compound 5‐[(2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐1__H__‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1,3,4‐oxa‐diazole‐2(3__H__)‐thione (10) could be obtained through the reaction of compound 9 with carbon disulfide in basic medium. Subsequent alkylation of compound 10 afforded alkyl 2‐(5‐[(2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐1__H__‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐2‐ylthio)acetate (11) in good yield. Reaction of hydrazide 9 with substituted isothiocynate yielded 1‐[2‐(2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐1__H__‐imidazol‐1‐yl)acetyl]‐4‐aryl(or ethyl)thiosemicarbazide (12) which was cyclized in acidic media to N‐substituted 2‐amino‐5‐[(2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (13).
