Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the above-mentioned 1-(2-methylphenyl)-1,4-dihydrotetrazole-5-one 69.8 g and N,N-dimethylformamide 380 mL was added 55% sodium hydride 18.2 g under ice-cooling. After stirring the resulting mixture for twenty minutes, thereto was added methyl iodide 59.4 g. The mixtures were raised to room temperature and were stirred for two and a half hours. To the reaction mixtures was added water and the mixtures were extracted with methyl tert-butyl ether. The organic layers were washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, water and saturated saline, and were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and were then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residues were subjected to a silica gel column chromatography to give 1-(2-methylphenyl)-4-methyl-1,4-dihydrotetrazole-5-one 52.5 g.
