Participants

Reaction Steps

To an acetone (50 ml) solution containing 2-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole (4.0 g) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (20 g) was added 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (5.0 ml) under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred for 90 minutes at room temperature, to which was added methylene chloride (50 ml). The mixture was subjected to filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 2-(chloroethylthio)-1-methyltetrazole (6.0 g) as a pale yellow oily substance.
