A novel and robust ionic liquid-supported copper(II) catalyst has been developed and explored for the efficient synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles using microwave irradiation. The ionic liquid-supported catalyst facilitated the efficient isolation of tetrazole products with high purity by simple extraction with organic solvent. Recovered ionic liquid-supported copper(II) catalyst could be recycled for three times for the synthesis of tetrazole products with high purity. This synthetic protocol offers a very clean, convenient, and microwave-assisted environment-friendly method for the efficient synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles with high yield.
