The [3+2] cycloaddition between various nitriles and sodium azide proceeds smoothly in the presence of a new Cu II catalyst in N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to give the corresponding 5-substituted 1 H -tetrazoles. The desired tetrazoles were obtained in high yields within 3-30 min by employing contr...

Summary: | The [3+2] cycloaddition between various nitriles and sodium azide proceeds smoothly in the presence of a new Cu
II
catalyst in
N
-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to give the corresponding 5-substituted 1
H
-tetrazoles. The desired tetrazoles were obtained in high yields within 3-30 min by employing controlled microwave heating. The reaction most probably proceeds through the activation of the nitrile groups by the Cu
II
species, followed by a successive [3+2] cycloaddition with the sodium azide. The good performance of the catalyst enabled the preparation of selected tetrazoles labelled with the positron emitter nitrogen-13 even under conventional heating. The short reaction time, simple work-up procedure, and recyclability of the catalyst are advantages of the method reported here.
