A series of derivatives of 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole having verities of biological activities can be synthesised by various methods. The activities include anticancer, antimicrobial, anti- inflammatory, anti- HIV, anti tubercular, anti diabetic, antifungal etc. In this article we have summarized various methods for synthesis of derivatives of 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole nucleus and evaluation of various biological activities.
