Tetrazoles are doubly unsaturated five-membered aromatic heterocycles consisting of one carbon atom and four nitrogen atoms. Tetrazole derivatives are a major class of heterocyclic compounds that are important for medicinal chemistry and drug design because of their not only isosteric properties with carboxylic acid and amide moieties, but also metabolic stability and other beneficial physicochemical properties.
Tetrahydroquinoline is one of the most important simple nitrogen heterocycles, widely found in nature and in a variety of pharmacologically active compounds. Tetrahydroquinoline is an important structure for the synthesis of various biologically active derivatives.
