Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl 4-bromobutyl sulfoxide (2.7 g) and 1-methyl-5-mercapto-1,2,3,4-tetrazole (1.4 g) are dissolved in acetone (50 ml), and thereto is added potassium carbonate (1.4 g), and the mixture is refluxed for 2 hours. After acetone is distilled off, water is added to the residue, and the mixture is extracted with chloroform. The chloroform solution is washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over magnesium sulfate. After chloroform is distilled off, the residue is purified by column chromatography (Kieselgel 60), eluting with chloroform-methanol (100:1) to give 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl 4-(1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl)thiobutyl sulfoxide (1.5 g), as colorless liquid, nD19 =1.5660.
