Procedure

A mixture of 3.5 g of 4-chlorobutyronitrile, 2.3 g of sodium azide and 1.9 g of ammonium chloride in 50 ml of dimethyl-formamide is stirred at 140° C. for 20 hours. The reaction mixture is poured onto ice, basified with 1N sodium hydroxide and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The aqueous fraction is acidified with acetic acid and extracted with ethylacetate. Evaporation of the ethyl acetate gives 5-(3-chloropropyl)-tetrazole, which is used directly in the next step.
