A mixture of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (4 g, 16.5 mmol), 2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-amine (1.96 g, 19.8 mmol) and molecular sieves (5-10 Å beads) in toluene (50 mL) was heated at reflux for 4 hours, after which time the solvent was removed. Ethanol (50 mL) and sodium borohydride (1.25 g, 33 mmol) were added. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then partitioned between saturated NH4Cl (50 mL) and ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaCl (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to yield the title compound as a white solid (4.7 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.2 (s, 3 H) 4.7 (s, 1 H) 4.7 (s, 1 H) 5.0 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 1 H) 7.8 (s, 1 H) 7.9 (s, 2 H). MS (ES+) Calc: 325.08, Found: 325.8 (M+1).
