Nucleophilic reagents such as 5-lithiotetrazoles are synthetically powerful tools for the installation of tetrazole functional groups, but they are of limited utility due to the instability of tetrazole-derived carbanions. Herein, we report practical methods for the generation and use of new 5-metallo-1-benzyl-1H-tetrazoles (M=K, MgX, ZnX) derived from either 1-benzyl-1H-tetrazole or 1-benzyl-5-bromo-1H-tetrazole. By varying the metal counterion, the tetrazole carbanion stability was improved. Potassium- and magnesium-derived reagents underwent additions to carbonyl compounds at -30 and -20°C, respectively. The isolated yields (41-85%) from these and other reactions were comparable to those reported for 5-lithiotetrazoles at much lower temperatures (-78 to -98 °C). Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ?

Click chemistry: Acyl cyanides react with alkyl azides in high yield by heating at 120-130°C (see scheme). The reactions are run neat, and the workup is simple. When p-nitrophenyl cyanoformate is used as the dipolarophile, the resulting tetrazoles are act
