Procedure

To a solution of 2-cyano-4'-methylbiphenyl (390 g, 2.02 moles) in toluene (2.3 L) was added trimethyltin azide (525 g, 2.55 moles) at r.t. The mixture was refluxed for 24 h, cooled to r.t., filtered, washed with toluene and sucked dry in a funnel. The precipitate was resuspended in toluene (3.5 L) and THF (250 mL) was added. Anhydrous HCl was bubbled in at a moderate rate at r.t. to give a clear solution (45 min). Addition of HCl gas was continued for another 20 min. with stirring whereupon a white precipitate formed. The reaction mixture was stirred over night. The solid product was filtered, washed with toluene followed with ether and then dried under vacuum. This produced 250 g (53% yield of the tetrazole. m.p. 152°-154° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 2.40 (s, 3H), 7.19 (dd, 1H), 7.55 (m, 2H), 8.25 (dd, 1H).
