5-Aminotetrazole is an organic compound with the formula HN₄CNH₂. It is a white solid that can be obtained both in anhydrous and hydrated forms. The compound has a particularly high nitrogen content of 80%. Partly for this reason, the compound is prone to decomposition to nitrogen gas (N₂). It has been widely investigated for gas-generating systems, such as airbags and blowing agents.^[1]

The molecule is planar.^[2] The hydrogen bonding pattern in the hydrate supports the assignment of NH being adjacent to carbon in the ring.^[3]

5-Aminotetrazole has found applications in heterocyclic chemistry, particularly as a synthon for numerous multicomponent reactions.^[4]
