A number of compounds belonging to the series 2- and 6-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) benzothiazoles and 2- and 6-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzothiazoies have been synthesized by the cyclodehydration of 1-(2- and 6-bentothiazolecarbonyl)-2-acylhydrazines with polyphosphoric acid and by the treat­ment of these diacylhydrazines with phosphorus pentasulphide respectively with a view to testing their antiinflammatory activity.
