Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-amino-1H-tetrazole (1.50 g, 17.6 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) were added Cs2CO3 (8.62 g, 26.4 mmol) and PMBCl (2.90 g, 18.5 mmol). After stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with EtOAc. The mixture was washed with H2O and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with DCM and the resulted precipitate was collected by filtration to give 1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-ylamine (0.625 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 3.73 (s, 3H), 5.27 (s, 2H), 6.78 (s, 2H), 6.92 (d, 2H, J=8.8 Hz), 7.21 (d, 2H, J=8.8 Hz).
