Abstract
A facile and highly efficient method for the synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles in the presence of CuO/aluminosilicate as an effective heterogeneous nanocatalyst is reported. A series of aliphatic and aromatic nitriles underwent a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with sodium azide to afford tetrazoles under reflux conditions in DMF. The yields of the obtained tetrazoles were good to excellent and the reaction times were also acceptable. The CuO/aluminosilicate is readily prepared, environmentally friendly, reusable and showed high catalytic performance. The catalyst was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, energy‐dispersive X‐ray mapping and SEM techniques. Moreover, the procedure is simple, cost effective and reliable that holds potential for further applications in organic syntheses and industrial requirements.
