Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylate (10.0 g) and pyridine (1.8 ml) were stirred together in dry toluene (140 ml) at 10° C. Oxalyl chloride (30.7 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 15° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered and the residual solid was washed with dry toluene (100 ml). The filtrate and washings were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give crude 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-carbonyl chloride, which was used immediately in the next stage.
