A series of five novel bis-1,5-disubstituted-1H-tetrazoles (bis-1,5-DS-1H-T) were quickly prepared by a catalyst-free Ugi-azide repetitive process from easily accessible starting materials in excellent yields, either at room temperature (88%-95%) or using mild MW-heating conditions (80%-91%). These molecules may have a wide range of applications, such as chelating agents, organocatalysts and luminescent materials, and mainly as bioactive compounds.
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.
