Tetrazole is an important five-membered aromatic heterocycle with poly-nitrogen electron-rich planar structural feature. This unique structure endows tetrazole derivatives as drugs, explosives, functional materials etc. to exhibit wide potential applications in medicinal, agrochemical, material science and so on. Relevant researches have been becoming active and some important achievements have been made. Based our work on azoles and referring to other literature in recent 5 years, this review systematically summarized the recent advances in the synthesis of tetrazole compounds and their application researches as medicinal drugs, agrochemicals and materials.
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.
