A synthesis of novel bis(triazolothiadiazines) 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , bis(quinoxalines) 16 and 17 , bis(thiadiazoles) 24 and 25 , and bis(oxadiazole) 31 , which are linked to the thieno[2,3‐ b ]thiophene core via phenoxymethyl group, was reported. Thus, reaction of the bis( α ‐bromoketones) 6 and 7 with the corresponding 4‐amino‐3‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazole derivatives 8 , 9 , 10 in ethanol–DMF mixture in the presence of a few drops of triethylamine as a catalyst under reflux afforded the novel bis(5,6‐dihydro‐ s ‐triazolo[3,4‐ b ]thiadiazines) 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 in 60–72% yields. The bis(quinoxalines) 16 and 17 were also synthesized as a sole product in high yields by the reaction of 6 and 7 with o ‐phenylenediamine 15 in refluxing acetonitrile in the presence of piperidine as a catalyst. Cyclization of the bis(aldehyde thiosemicarbazones) 20 and 21 with acetic anhydride afforded the corresponding bis(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolyl) derivatives 24 and 25 in good yield. Bis(5‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole) derivative 31 could be obtained in 67% yield by cyclization of the appropriate bis( N ‐phenylhydrazone) 29 in refluxing acetic anhydride for 3 h.
