an isocyanide-based multicomponent reaction is reported. The tetrazolo [1, 5-a][1, 4]
benzodiazepines were obtained by a facile azide Ugi five-center four-component reaction (U-
5C-4CR) using ketones, sodium azide, ammonium chloride, and corresponding isocyanide.
The aforementioned tetrazolodiazepines represent a notable class of compounds with
proven platelet aggregation inhibitory and cholecystokinin agonist activities.
