Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.0 g of 2-amino-N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzamide in 20 ml of dimethylformamide was added 2.3 g of methyl chloroformate. The resulting solution was warmed for 2 hours and then diluted with a small volume of water. The solid which formed on cooling was separated by filtration to give [2-((1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-aminocarbonyl)phenyl]carbamic acid methyl ester melting at about 236°-237° C. after recrystallization from ethanol.
