Abstract

Substituted 1-biaryl-1H-tetrazoles are classically obtained from the corresponding 1-aminobiaryls, limiting the selection of substrates. The development and substrate scope of a green, ligand-free Suzuki protocol in aqueous media under ambient atmosphere, leading to 1-biaryl- and heteroaryl-substituted 1H-tetrazoles in very good to excellent yields is presented. The combination of PdCl2/NEt3/H2O/EtOH was found to combine high yields and high purity for all substrates investigated. Comparative experiments investigating the reaction rate showed that the tetrazole does not act as a ligand for the palladium catalyst.
