Dimethylformamide → 1-(2-Methyl-3-bromophenyl)-4-methyl-1,4-dihydrotetrazol-5-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the above-mentioned 1-(2-methyl-3-bromophenyl)-1,4-dihydrotetrazole-5-one 31.40 g and N,N-dimethylformamide 250 mL was added 60% sodium hydride 5.90 g under ice-cooling. The mixtures were raised to room temperature and were stirred for one hour. To the reaction mixtures was added methyl iodide 8.4 mL under ice-cooling. The mixtures were raised to room temperature and were stirred for fourteen hours. To the reaction mixtures was added water and the mixtures were extracted with ethyl acetate. 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-methyl-3-bromophenyl)-4-methyl-1,4-dihydrotetrazole-5-one (hereinafter, referred to as “Intermediate (PRB-P)”) 8.47 g.
