An original and efficient palladium-catalyzed amination of imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole is reported. The SNAr and Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reactions were investigated to access C-2 aminated imidazo[1,2-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives. The reaction conditions were optimized under microwave irradiation, and a wide range of amines were used to determine the scope and limitations of the method
