A series of five novel bis-1,5-disubstituted-1H-tetrazoles (bis-1,5-DS-1H-T) were quickly prepared by a catalyst-free Ugi-azide repetitive process from easily accessible starting materials in excellent yields, either at room temperature (88%–95%) or using mild MW-heating conditions (80%–91%). These molecules may have a wide range of applications, such as chelating agents, organocatalysts and luminescent materials, and mainly as bioactive compounds.
