A multicomponent reaction of isocyanides and C,N-cyclic N′-acyl azomethine imines in the presence of TMSCl and NaN3 leads to tetrazole derivatives. These reactions proceeded cleanly to afford the corresponding 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles containing a tetrahydroisoquinoline skeleton in high to excellent yields.
