Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Methyl-5-(4-chlorobutyl)thio-1,2,3,4-tetrazole (2.00 g) and 2-mercapto-3H,4H-benzotriazepin-5-one (2.2 g) are dissolved in methanol (50 ml), and thereto is added sodium hydroxide (4.8 g), and the mixture is refluxed at 2.5 hours. After the solvent is distilled off, water is added to the residue, and the mixture is extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer is washed with 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide and saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over magnesium sulfate. After chloroform is distilled off, the residue is recrystallized from methanol to give 1-methyl-5-[4-(3H,4H-1,3,4-benzotriazepin-5-on-2-yl)thiobutyl]thio-1,2,3,4-tetrazole (2.4 g) as colorless prisms, m.p. 94°-95° C.
