<abstract xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">In order to reduce the ulcerogenic effect of ibuprofen, its carboxylic group has been converted into 5-membered heterocyclic rings. Various 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (3-8, 16-21), 1,2,4-triazoles (22-27), 1,3,4-thiadiazoles (28-30), and 1,2,4-triazine (9) derivatives of ibuprofen were prepared by cyclization of 2-(4-<italic>i</italic>-butylphenyl) propionic acid hydrazide (2) and <italic>N1</italic>-[2-(4-<italic>i</italic>-butylphenyl) propionyl]-<italic>N4</italic>-alkyl/arylthiosemicarbazides (10-15) under various reaction conditions.
