Abstract

The most numerous and important heterocyclic systems are those having five and six member rings having hetero atoms such as N, O, S, P, Si and B etc. Many heterocyclic compounds are employed in the treatment of infectious diseases due to their specific antimicrobial activity. Heterocyclic compounds have attracted the attention of medicinal chemists because of having broad spectrum of pharmacological activities and hence it continues to yield new therapeutic agents. One such medicinal important heterocyclic nucleus is oxadiazole moiety. Oxazole is the parent compound for a vast class of heterocyclic aromatic organic compounds. These are azoles with an oxygen and a nitrogen separated by one carbon Oxazoles are aromatic compounds but less so than the thiazoles. Oxazole
