γ-Fe2O3:A magnetic separable catalyst for synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles from nitriles and

An efficient route for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole via[2+3]cycloaddition of nitriles and sodium azide is reported using γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles as a magnetic separable catalyst.Under optimized conditions,the moderate to good yields(71-95%)can be obtained.The catalyst can be easily separated by a magnet and reused for several circles.
