Sodium Azide → HCID 178518972, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Anhydrous aluminum chloride (1.5 g) was added to tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) with ice bath cooling and the resulting mixture was stirred for fifteen minutes. To the mixture was added sodium azide (0.65 g) and 2-chlorophenylisocyanate (1.53 g), followed by a sixteen hour-refluxing. After cooling, the reaction mixture was added with stirring to a mixture of sodium nitrite (1 g), water (200 ml) and ice (100 g) and the resulting mixture was worked up in the same way as in Comparative Synthesis Example 1 to obtain the desired 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-5(4H)-tetrazolinone (0.5 g) having a m.p. in the range of from 124.5° to 125.5° C. in a yield of 25% of theory.
