Abstract
Aryl and vinyl nitriles have been prepared in very high yields from the corresponding bromides using palladium-catalyzed reactions with microwave irradiation employed as the energy source. Furthermore, flash heating was used successfully for the conversion of these nitriles into aryl and vinyl tetrazoles by cycloaddition reactions. One-pot transformation of aryl halides directly to the aryl tetrazoles could be accomplished both in solution and on solid support. All reactions were completed in minutes rather than in hours or days as previously reported with the standard thermal heating technique. A very potent HIV-1 protease inhibitor (K(i) = 0. 56 nM), comprising two tetrazole heterocycles as carboxyl group bioisosteres, was prepared in one pot by microwave-promoted cyanation of a bromo precursor and a subsequent cycloaddition reaction. The temperature-time profiles at 13, 20, and 60 W magnetron input power in DMF are presented.
