Microwave-assisted synthesis of tetrazolyl pyrazole amides

A rapid and efficient microwave-assisted synthesis N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) derivatives of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole- 5-carboxamide is described. These tetrazole pyrazole amides have interesting bacteriocidal, pesticidal, herbicidal and antimicrobial activities. They were identified by IR and ¹H NMR elemental analyses. The target compounds were obtained in a shorter reaction time compared to conventional heating methods.
