Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-Dimethylformamide (3 ml) and potassium carbonate (0.33 g, 2.4 mmol) were added to 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenyl 1H-tetrazol-5-yl ketone O-methyloxime (0.40 g, 1.2 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. Then, dimethyl sulfate (0.23 g, 1.8 mmol) was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After completion of the reaction, ether (150 ml) was added, and the mixture was washed with brine (50 ml) twice. The ether layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane) and recrystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenyl 1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl ketone O-methyloxime as colorless crystals (0.16 g, 37.9%) [mp. 115.5-116.5° C.; 1H-NMR(CDCl3) δ ppm: 1.97(3H,s), 2.26(3H,s), 4.06(3H,s), 4.13(3H,s), 4.89(2H,s), 6.50(1H,s), 6.65(1H,d,J=7.9), 6.97(1H,d,J=7.9), 7.34-7.58(4H,m)] and 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenyl 2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl ketone O-methyloxime as colorless crystals (0.08 g, 19.0%) [mp. 131-132° C.; 1H-NMR(CDCl3) δ ppm: 2.12(3H,s), 2.24(3H,s), 4.09(3H,s), 4.34(3H,s), 4.96(2H,s), 6.54(1H,s), 6.64(1H,d,J=7.9), 6.98(1H,d,J=7.3), 7.29-7.53(3H,m), 7.69(1H,d,J=7.3)].
