Abstract
Organic thiocyanates and nitriles are converted efficiently into the corresponding 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles by treatment with zinc(II) chloride and sodium azide in aliphatic alcohols. The presented procedure provides mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, and good to excellent yields for a wide range of substrates, including deactivated aliphatic nitriles and thermally unstable thiocyanates.
