Abstract
Various 5-aryl-2-methyltetrazoles and 5-aryl-2-benzyltetrazoles were directly prepared in good yields under transition metal-free and mild conditions by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with methylhydrazine and benzylhydrazine, followed by treatment with di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate and [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene in a mixture of dichloromethane and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol at room temperature.
