Stereospecific synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles from ketoximes via a Beckmann rearrangement facilitated by diphenyl phosphorazidate

A novel method for the stereospecific synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles from ketoximes via the Beckmann rearrangement was developed using diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA) as both the oxime activator and azide source. Various ketoximes were transformed into the corresponding 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles with exclusive trans-group migration and no E-Z isomerization of the ketoxime. This method enables the preparation of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles without using toxic or explosive azidation reagents.

Synthesis and crystal morphology control of AlPO4-5 molecular sieves by microwave irradiation

AlPO₄-5 molecular sieves have been synthesized by the hydrothermal and solvothermal reactions using triethylamine as a template, aluminum isopropoxide and orthophosphate as the aluminum and phosphorus resource under microwave irradiation. The influences of various experimental parameters, such as reaction time, reaction temperature and reaction power, have been systematically investigated. The morphology control of AlPO₄-5 molecular sieves was achieved by changing the dosage of solvent and HF to control the solvent polarity and control the nucleation respectively. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and so on. The results show that the aspect ratio of the AlPO₄-5 molecular sieves increases with the increase of the solvent polarity and with the increasing concentration of HF, the morphology of AlPO₄-5 molecular sieves changes from hexagonal plate to hexagonal rod.
