Procedure

A solution of 1,5-dimethyltetrazol (8.9 g, 91.0 mmoles) in 100 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran at -60° C. was treated with n-butyl lithium (48 mL of 1.89M solution, 91.0 mmoles). After stirring for 20 minutes, 2,2',4,4'-tetramethylbenzophenone (18 g, 76 mmoles) [prepared by the procedure described in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 81, 4858 (1959)] in 50 mL dry tetrahydrofuran was added and the solution was stirred for 1 hour during which time it was allowed to warm to -20° C. The reaction was quenched with 1N HCl, then extracted with chloroform. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give 22 g of the title compound; m.p.=175°-177° C.
