Triethylamine hydrochloride → HCID 178423709, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into the same device as used in Example 1 were placed 9.66 g (0.050 mole) of 4'-methylbiphenyl-2-carbonitrile, 6.50 g (0.100 mole) of sodium azide, 13.77 g (0.100 mole) of triethylamine hydrochloride and 96.6 ml of toluene. The mixture was reacted for 48 hours in the same manner as in Example 1, giving 10.85 g (0.046 mole) of 5-(4'-methylbiphenyl-2-yl)-1H-tetrazole (yield 91.9% based on 4'-methylbiphenyl-2-carbonitrile). The reaction is illustrated below with chemical formulas: ##STR26##
