Hydrochloric Acid → 1-benzyl-2'-benzyloxy-3'-methoxy-5'-methyl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxanilide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-benzyloxy-3-methoxy-5-methylaniline (2.6 g), potassium 1-benzyl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylate (2.5 g) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.1 g) in dry pyridine (100 ml) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was then poured into a mixture of ice (250 g) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (100 ml), and the mixture was allowed to stand for 1 hour. The precipitate was filtered off and recrystallised from ethanol to give 1-benzyl-2'-benzyloxy-3'-methoxy-5'-methyl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxanilide (0.16 g), m.p. 181°-183° C.
