Reaction Steps

2-bromo-3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid (95 mg, 0.344 mmol) and 1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-amine (44 mg, 0.447 mmol) are dissolved in pyridine (6 ml). Oxalyl chloride (41 μl, 0.465 mmol) is slowly added dropwise, and the reaction mixture is subsequently warmed to 65° C. for 2 hours. The solvent is stripped off and the residue is separated by preparative HPLC. This gives 59 mg (0.165 mmol, yield 48%) of 2-bromo-3-methoxy-N-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4-nitrobenzamide.
