Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl azidoacetate (13.1 grams, 98.5 percent pure, 0.1 mole) and ethyl cyanoformate (20.0 grams, distilled, 0.2 mole) was heated in an oil bath at 110°-111°C. for 24 hours. Removal of excess ethyl cyanoformate in vacuo gave 22.25 grams (98% of theoretical yield) of ethyl 5-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-H-tetrazole-1-acetate which was shown to be 91% pure by nuclear magnetic resonance.
