KGaA, Weinheim An efficient and rapid synthetic approach for the synthesis of tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines has been developed employing the reaction of o-alkynylisocyanobenzenes with sodium azide. The present strategy involved nucleophilic addition of azide to isocyanide followed by 6-endo cyclization. The reaction gives access to a collection of tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolines with broad functional group in moderate to high yields under metal-, and base-free conditions.Mahidol UniversityChemistryArticleSCOPUS10.1002/ejoc.201901209
