Reaktionsschritte

A solution (70 ml) of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (6.71 g) and 5-amino-2-methyltetrazole (3.30 g) in toluene was heated under reflux for 4 hr. The reaction solution was concentrated and the obtained residue was dissolved in ethanol (70 ml), and sodium borohydride (2.10 g) was added with stirring at room temperature. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed successively with water and saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and sodium sulfate was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated and the obtained residue was recrystallized from isopropanol-water (3:7, 50 ml) to give the title compound.
