However, many of these reported methods suffer from one or more of the following drawbacks: (i) long reaction times, (ii) the use of toxic and/or explosive reagents, (iii) tedious workup and low yields, (iv) high temperatures, (v) the formation of inseparable regioisomers, and (vi) the use of uncommon starting materials. Thus, a mild and efficient method is required for the preparation of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles. ... Imidoylbenzotriazoles, which are ...
