Hydrogen Peroxide → 5,5'-Dithiobis(1-methyltetrazole)

Participants

Reaction Steps

Within a flask having a capacity of 1000 ml, 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole of 1000 mmol is solved in methanol of 450 ml, and the solution thus formed is cooled by water bathing. Into the solution thus prepared, 34.5% hydrogen peroxide of 20 ml is dropped slowly. At several minutes after dropping, the reaction generates heat, thus creating precipitate.
