MW-Induced Solvent-Free Synthesis of 5-Substituted 1H-Tetrazoles Using Onion (Allium cepa L.) Extract as an Eco-friendly and Green Catalyst
摘要
Abstract
5-Substituted-1H-tetrazoles can be synthesized from the corresponding nitriles by reaction with NaN3 using the efficient and green onion extract catalyst under microwave irradiation and solvent- free conditions in good to excellent yields (up to 95%) and very short reaction times. This method is applicable to a wide range of aryl and alkyl nitriles with sodium azide in solvent-free media, and affords the various tetrazole derivatives in an eco-friendly solvent-less procedure under microwave irradiation at reaction temperature 120°C. The use of onion extract makes the process environmentally benign.
