Synthesis and crystal structure of new heterocycles containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazolone (thione), hydantoin, and mercaptobenzimidazole units.

A number of 1,2,4-oxadiazolone and mercapto nitro benzimidazole derivatives containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole and hydantoin moieties have been prepared, and their structures were identified by means of spectral/physical characteristics including X-ray diffraction data.
