  ABSTRACT: An extension of our methodology on solid-phase synthesis of 3,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles under mild conditions has been developed. Firstly, the resin-bound acylhydrazine is reacted with orthoesters to provide resin-bound 1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Secondly, condensation of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles resin with the corresponding arylamines hydrochloride to form the the resin-bound triazoles. 3,4,5-Trisubstituted-1,2,4-triazoles derivatives were obtained from resin-bound acylhydrazines in several steps providing 78% - 87% overall yields and excellent purity. The advantages of this method include straightforward operation and high yield and purity of the products.
