An efficient method for the preparation of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives is reported using MoO3-SiO2 as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst. This method has the advantages of high yields, simple methodology and easy work-up. This catalyst could be recycled very easily, which makes this methodology environmentally benign.

Bio-orthogonal chemistry has been widely used for conjugation of polymer molecules to proteins. Here, we demonstrate the conjugation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to bovine beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) by photo-induced cyclo-addition of tetrazole-appended PEG and allyl-modified BLG. During the course of the investigation, a significant side-reaction was found to occur for the conjugation of PEG-tetr...

In recent years there is a tremendous increase of inflammatory cases, leading to the design and development of newer anti-inflammatory agents. The reaction of 2-substituted phenyl-3-chloroacetamido quinazolin-4(3H)-ones with various 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol and 5-(pyridine-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2thiol gave N-(4-Oxo-2-substituted phenylquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)-2-[(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-...
