Since the discovery of organic azides by Peter Grieß more than 140 years ago, numerous
syntheses of these energy‐rich molecules have been developed. In more recent times in …

Energetic salts offer many advantages over conventional energetic molecular compounds.
The use of nitrogen containing anions and cations contributes to high heats of formations …

The addition of sodium azide to nitriles to give 1 H-tetrazoles is shown to proceed readily in
water with zinc salts as catalysts. The scope of the reaction is quite broad; a variety of …

Transition metal catalyzed denitrogenative transannulation of a triazole ring has recently
received considerable attention as a new concept for the construction of diverse nitrogen …

Tetrazole compounds have been studied for more than one hundred years and applied in
various areas. Several yeas ago Sharpless and his co-workers reported an environmentally …

A Click Chemistry Approach to Tetrazoles by Huisgen 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition: Synthesis of
5-Sulfonyl Tetrazoles from Azides and Sulfonyl Cyanides We thank the National Institute of …

Hydro (solvo) thermal in situ ligand synthesis has rapidly developed over the past several
years due to its effectiveness, simplicity and environmental friendliness. More than 10 types …

Fireworks are probably the application of chemistry which resonates best with the general
public. However, fireworks and (civil and military) pyrotechnic applications cause …

It is well-known that azide salts can engage nitriles at elevated temperatures to yield
tetrazoles; however, there is continued debate as to the mechanism of the reaction. Density …

The mechanism by which zinc (II) catalyzes the union of an azide ion with organic nitriles to
form tetrazoles is investigated by means of density functional theory using the hybrid …
