The structures of the title compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, MS and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the structure of compound 4i was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The preliminary bioassy results indicated that some of them showed moderate inhibition activity against Colletotrichum orbiculare, Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani. %K 3-[(5-aryl-1 %K 3 %K 4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]benzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-ones %K synthesis %K crystal structure %K antifungal activity %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/17/1/989
