Abstract
5-Substituted tetrazoles were prepared in very good yields and short reaction times by treatment of nitriles with sodium azide and triethylammonium chloride in nitrobenzene in a microwave reactor. Even sterically hindered tetrazoles, as well as those deactivated by electron-donating groups, can be prepared.
