Significance

The authors report a three-component cascade for the preparation of substituted tetrazole heterocycles. The one-pot reaction sequence begins with the formation of dihalogeno isocyanides, which react with an azide nucleophile. After electrocyclization, the generated ­bromotetrazole undergoes a Suzuki coupling to afford a range of aryl tetrazoles in good yields.
