A series of biphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles namely 5-[substituted-(1,1'-biphenyl)-3-yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones and its S-alkyl derivatives have been synthesized by multi step organic synthesis involving Suzuki-Miyaura coupling using palladium catalyst. The synthesized compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, (19)F NMR, IR and LCMS spectroscopic properties. They were tested for their antimicrobial and analgesic activities. Some of them showed significant activity.
