Water → ethyl {[1-(1-naphthyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thio}acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(Naphthalen-1-yl)-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (235 mg, 1.03 mmol), ethyl bromoacetate (189 mg, 1.13 mmol) and potassium carbonate (171 mg, 1.24 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Water was then added to the reaction mixture and the precipitate that formed collected to give ethyl 2-(1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1H-tetrazol-5-ylthio)acetate as a solid (306 mg, 94%).
