N-(4-Amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)acetamide
N-(4-Amino-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)acetamide (CAS 140706-47-4) is a heterocyclic building block based on the 1,2,5-oxadiazole (furazan) ring, bearing both an amino and an acetamido substituent. Its molecular formula is C4H6N4O2 with a molar mass of 142.12 g/mol. Used principally in research-scale organic and medicinal chemistry, this amino-furazan derivative serves as an intermediate and scaffold for the synthesis of more complex nitrogen-rich heterocycles.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a furazan-based scaffold in chemical synthesis, providing a 1,2,5-oxadiazole ring with adjacent amino and acetamido handles for further functionalisation.
Medicinal chemistry intermediate
Used at research scale as an intermediate in the preparation of candidate molecules, where the nitrogen-rich furazan core is of interest in drug-discovery programmes.
Synthesis of nitrogen-rich heterocycles
The amino group offers a reactive site for coupling, condensation and cyclisation, enabling the construction of more elaborate oxadiazole and fused heterocyclic systems.
Laboratory research and reference use
Supplied for method development, analytical reference and exploratory studies in academic and industrial laboratories working with furazan chemistry.
