Herein we describe the CÀ N coupling reaction of N-tosylhydrazones with tetrazoles using thermic activation in the presence of different bases. The reactions proved to be highly regioselective to result in the corresponding 2,5-disubstituted-2H-tetrazoles as main products and 1,5-disubstituted-1H-tetrazoles as minor products. Owing to its mild conditions, the method enabled the use of a wide range of substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
