摘要:
Chiral substituted phenylethyl-1H-tetrazoles were built-up from the corresponding carboxylic acid derivatives by a useful three-step synthesis. The procedure, that preserves the chiral center from racemization, was successfully applied to a selection of several hit compounds by conversion of the carboxylic acid moiety to the nitrile derivatives and subsequent reaction with trimethylstannyl azide, under microwave conditions. A useful application to the corresponding tetrazole analogue has been found also in the conversion of the aminoacidic moiety like (R)-N-Cbz-phenylglycine showing a wide potential synthetic application.
