The reaction mixture was heated to reflux in the dark for 12 hours, then allowed to cool to room temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (2×300 ml) and the combined aqueous layer was acidified to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid (30 ml). The acidified solution was washed with 1:1 ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give 5-[4-[(5-nitro-2-thienyl)ethynyl]-phenyl]-1H-tetrazole as a yellow solid.
