Azidotrimethylsilane → 1-[4-(4-fluorophenylmethoxy)-2-fluorophenyl]-1,4-dihydro-5H-tetrazol-5-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7.10 g (0.027 mole) of 4-(4-fluorophenylmethoxy)-2-fluorophenyl isocyanate and 7.0 g (0.060 mole) of trimethylsilyl azide was heated at reflux for approximately seventeen hours. The solution was then allowed to cool to room temperature before being poured over ice. A solid formed and was recovered by filtration. The solid was dried, leaving 8.08 g of 1-[4-(4-fluorophenylmethoxy)-2-fluorophenyl]-1,4-dihydro-5H-tetrazol-5-one, m.p. 171°-172° C.
