Reaction Steps

Anhydrous 5-aminotetrazole (8.5 g, 0.1 mole) was slurried in 150 ml of acetonitrile. On the addition of triethylamine (10 g, 0.1 mole), the solids dissolved. Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride (13 g, 0.12 mole) was added at once with no exotherm. The mixture was refluxed two hours with the formation of white solids. After cooling, the material was added to cold water to remove by-product triethylamine hydrochloride. The water insoluble material was collected.
