A series of primary alcohols and aldehydes were treated with iodine in ammonia
water under microwave irradiation to give the intermediate nitriles, which
without isolation underwent [2 + 3] cycloadditions with dicyandiamide and sodium
azide to afford the corresponding triazines and tetrazoles in high yields.

An alkylation reaction of monosubstituted tetrazoles via the diazotization of
aliphatic amines enables preferential formation of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles.
A one-pot 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/diazotization sequence starting from widely
available nitriles is also described.

The reaction of aryldiazonium salts with amidines followed by oxidative ring
closure with I2/KI under basic conditions provides 2,5-disubstituted
tetrazoles in good yields. This one-pot synthesis offers mild reaction
conditions, short reaction time and a convenient workup.

A mild and highly regioselective 2-arylation of 5-substituted tetrazoles
proceeds with various arylboronic acids in the presence of [Cu(OH)(TMEDA)]2Cl2
to afford 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles.

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.

[3+2]-Cycloaddition of arenediazonium salts with a wide range of readily
available α-diazocarbonyl compounds provides 2-aryl-5-acyl-2H-tetrazoles
of high value in medicinal chemistry.

N-Iodosuccinimide promotes a [3 + 2] annulation reaction of
aryldiazonium salts with guanidines for the construction of previously elusive
2-aryl-5-amino-2H-tetrazoles. This transformation takes advantage of
readily available starting materials, proceeds under metal-free, mild, and
robust conditions, and offers broad functional group compatibility.
