Tetrazoles were effectively synthesized from amides using diphenyl phosphorazidate or bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphorazidate in the presence of aromatic bases. Various amides underwent the proposed cycloaddition reaction to provide the corresponding tetrazoles. Studies on the racemization of chiral substrates were also performed. Overall, the proposed synthesis method enables the preparation of 1,5-disubstituted and 1-substituted tetrazoles, and 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles without using toxic or explosive reagents.

In this work, a simple and greener protocol for the synthesis of 1-substituted 1H-tetrazole derived from α-amino acid ethyl esters was demonstrated in the presence of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) under conventional conditions, with heating (at 60 and 80°C and under reflux) compared with ultrasonic. The effect of solvent was investigated to reveal that the solvent system CH3CN/H2O was optimum to obtain 1-substituted 1H-tetrazole in high yield. In addition, the effect of irradiation power was studied, which showed that the yield of the reaction was improved at 200 W and the reaction time was shortened to be 30 min. Also, an improvement in the rate of the reaction and the yield of the products was observed when reactions were carried out under sonication conditions in the presence of ZnO NPs compared with conventional methods using various zinc salts as catalysts. The yields of tetrazole compounds 2a–i under sonication were determined (88–96percent). Furthermore, the investigated heterogeneous catalytic system was recycled and reused for five runs with significant production of tetrazole 2a as a model target compound in excellent yields at each reaction cycle. In general, the investigated synthetic strategy for the heterocyclization of α-amino acid ethyl ester derivatives to 1-substituted 1H-tetrazoles was in agreement with the green chemistry point of view.
