Abstract
L-proline as a catalyst enables a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of a series of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles from a broad range of substrates, including aliphatic and aryl nitriles, organic thiocyanates, and cyanamides. This environmentally benign, cost effective, and high-yielding L-proline-catalyzed protocol offers simple experimental procedure, short reaction time, simple workup, and excellent yields.
