Azido(trimethyl)stannane → HCID 178423768, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-3-(4-methylphenyl)thiophene-2-carbonitrile (4.67 g), trimethyltin azide (12.3 g) and xylene (100 ml) was heated under reflux for 15 hours. After standing for 3 days at ambient temperature, the precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration to give 5-chloro-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thiophene (14.7 g) as a yellowish powder. This powder was treated with trityl chloride (6.7 g) and 10N aqueous sodium hydroxide (2.4 ml) in dichloromethane (59 ml), and tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) at ambient temperature for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvents were evaporated in vacuo to give a residue which was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford 5-chloro-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(1-trityl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thiophene (10.3 g).
