ZSM-5 catalyzed one pot three-component synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles from aldehyde

Abstract

In this paper, we report one-pot three-component synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles from aldehyde using zeolite-based heterogeneous catalyst (ZSM-5). Wide functional group tolerance with high chemical yield has been achieved. Moreover, heterogeneous catalyst (ZSM-5) was recovered and reused several times without significant loss of its catalytic activity
