Additional water (40 mL), HCl (3M, 30 mL) and EtOAc (200 mL) were added subsequently. The mixture was stirred until no solid in the aqueous layer. The mixture was then portioned. The aqueous solution was further extracted with EtOAc (3×60 mL). The combined EtOAc was concentrated. The residue was treated with NaOH (0.25 M, 200 mL). After stirred for 50 min, insoluble material was filtered, washed with NaOH (1M). The filtrate was then acidified with HCl (conc.) to pH 3. The resulting white precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo to obtain 1-[4-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-phenyl]-ethanone as white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.17–8.10 (m, 4H), 2.61 (s, 3H). MS m/z=188 (M+).
