Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles. A series of 1-substituted tetrazole compounds were synthesized from the reaction of various primary amines, sodium azide and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of catalytic amounts of MSA at room temperature. In this protocol, some of the tetrazole derivatives were synth...

α-Aminomethyl tetrazoles, recently made accessible by an Ugi multicomponent reaction (MCR), were shown to be excellent starting materials for a further Ugi MCR, yielding substituted N-methyl-2-(((1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl)amino)acetamides having four points of diversity in a library-to-library approach. The scope and limitations of the two-step sequence was explored by conducting more th...

An adaptive tetrazole-derived host provides insight into tetrazolate-biomolecule interactions, and is the first member of a new family of receptors that function in pure water.

A new series of novel heterocyclic compounds containing both tetrazoles and piperidine nuclei together, namely, 1-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethanone (22-28), were synthesized by the treatment of the respective 2-chloro-1-(1-aryl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethanone (15-21) with piperidine in acetonitrile for 6 h. A series of novel tetrazole substituted piperidine derivatives were synthes...

5-Substituted-1H-tetrazoles were synthesized by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of sodium azide with various nitriles in the presence of nickel zirconium phosphate (NiZrP) as an effective heterogeneous catalyst in dimethylsulfoxide at 120 °C. This method has the advantages of good to high yields, simple methodology and easy work-up. The catalyst can be recovered by centrifuging and reused with good y...

1-substituted 1H-tetrazoles were efficiently synthesized under solvent-free conditions from the reaction of primary amines, triethylorthoformate, and sodium azide in the presence of Cu/C as a heterogeneous catalyst. Various amines including aromatic and heteroaromatic amines were used to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. The characterization of corresponding product...
