Abstract

The intramolecular halogenation of O-methylbenzohydroximoyl halides in the presence of a Ru catalyst and the ligand diphenylacetylene afforded halo substituted aromatic nitriles in a highly regioselective manner. Further, substituted nitriles were converted into substituted tetrazole derivatives in the presence of NaN3 and I2.
