The present study on tetrazole compounds, which have a wide area of application, proposes a new, simple and highly effective method. A series of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles were synthesised in DMF via the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, in which different aryl nitriles with sodium azide were used and copper(I) chloride served as a catalyst. Short reaction times, high yields and simple procedures rendered this method attractive and useful for the organic synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. A further advantage was the use of an environmentally friendly catalyst.
