title: Syntheses of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles catalyzed by reusable CoY zeolite.
abstract: A simple and efficient route for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles catalyzed by CoY zeolite is reported. The salient features of this atom-economical, cost-effective, and high-yield cobalt-catalyzed protocol are aerobic conditions, lower reaction time, and milder reaction conditions without additives. Other advantages include experimental ease of manipulation, safer alternative to hazardous, corrosive, and polluting conventional Lewis acid catalysts, recovery, and reusability with consistent catalytic activity. The results are rationalized by proposing a suitable mechanism.
