Abstract:A new, efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives with a wide range of substituents in good to excellent yields has been developed. The synthesis was performed by the one-pot three-component [3+2]cycloaddition reaction between aldehyde, hydroxylamine and sodium azide in the presence of Cu/C. The reaction probably proceeds by the in situ formation of nitriles followed by successive [3+2]cycloaddition with sodium azide. A variety of aldehydes were used to obtain t… Show more
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.
