Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-methyl-5-(5-phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)thiophene-2-carboxylate (0.16 g, 0.51 mmol) in a 1:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuran:water (10 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (0.11 g, 2.55 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 18 hours and allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The organic solvent was removed in vacuo. The aqueous solution was acidified with 10% aqueous solution. The white solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to afford the title compound as red colored solid (0.12 g, 82%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.14-8.11 (m, 2H), 7.75 (s, 1H), 7.62-7.60 (m, 3H), 2.54 (s, 3H); MS (ES+) m/z 287.2 (M+1).
