A series of novel pyranochromene-containing tetrazoles fused with pyrimidinethiones, pyrimidines, and diazepines 3a-f, 4a-f, and 5a-f were synthesized by condensation of the corresponding tetrazoles 2a-f with carbon disulfide, benzaldehyde, and 4-methoxy phenacyl bromide, respectively. The compound 2a-f was obtained by reaction of pyrano[3,2-c]chromenes 1a-f with sodium azide. The structures of...

An adaptive tetrazole-derived host provides insight into tetrazolate-biomolecule interactions, and is the first member of a new family of receptors that function in pure water.

The synthesis and characterization of new 4-[(2-alkyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl]phenyl 4-alkyloxybenzoates (5a–i) and 5-{4-[(4-substituted)benzyloxy]phenyl}-2-alkyl-2H-tetrazoles (7a–e) are reported. The reported tetrazoles contain two alkyl chains (six to ten carbon atoms) except for 5h and 7e which have a chiral citronellyl group linked at the N-2 nitrogen atom of the tetrazole ring and 5i having a b...

A variety of aldehydes reacted with iodine in ammonia water at room temperature to give the nitrile intermediates, which were trapped by addition of hydrogen peroxide, sodium azide, or dicyandiamide to produce their corresponding amides, tetrazoles, and 1,3,5-triazines in modest to high yields. The one-pot tandem reactions were conducted in water media, and the products were obtained simply by ...

A one-pot, tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of a library of tetrazoles from aryl isothiocyanates. Condensation of aryl isothiocyanates with ammonia, and aryl amines (R-NH(2)) provided mono, 1,3-disubstituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical thioureas, which on desulfurization with molecular iodine (I(2)) led to formation of the corresponding heterocumulene (cyanamides or carbodi...

α-Aminomethyl tetrazoles, recently made accessible by an Ugi multicomponent reaction (MCR), were shown to be excellent starting materials for a further Ugi MCR, yielding substituted N-methyl-2-(((1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl)amino)acetamides having four points of diversity in a library-to-library approach. The scope and limitations of the two-step sequence was explored by conducting more th...

Nitrogen rich compounds are suitable as ingredients in low smoke propellant charges. Several high-N energetic materials are presented which are based on tetrazoles. Tetrazoles are an unique class of compounds, since they combine a high nitrogen content and a high heat of formation with good thermal and kinetic stabilities due to their aromatic ring system. The reaction of 5azidotetrazole with h...
