Abstract
1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of perfluoroalkyl ethyle azides 1 with isocyanates 2 afforded 1-perfluoroalkyl-4-(n-Bu, phenyl or mesitylsulfonyl) tetrazol-5-ones 3 in good yields. The use of perfluoroalkyl ethyl azides extends the reaction to the less reactive n-butyl isocyanate. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
