The syntheses and anthelmintic activities of 31 3- and 5-(isothiocyanatophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles are reported. In the primary anthelmintic screen, 3-(4-isothiocyanatophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (39) showed 100% nematocidal activity and 3-(2-furanyl)-5-(4-isothiocyanatophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (63), 3-(2-furanyl)-5-(2-chloro-4-isothiocyanatophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (64), and 3-(2-furanyl)-5-(4-chloro-3-isothiocyanatophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (66) showed 100% taeniacidal activity when administered orally to mice. The two most active members of this series, 39 and 63, were active against the gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep at 100 mg/kg. In addition, 39 was also found to be active against hookworms in dogs at a single, oral dose of 200 mg/kg.
