Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(2-methylaminophenyl)-2-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethanone (0.2 g) and formic acid (5 ml) was heated on a steam bath for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and diluted with diethyl ether (80 ml). The resulting precipitate was collected and crystallised from industrial methylated spirit to give the novel compound 1-methyl-3-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4-quinolone, m.p. 219°-221°, identical to the product of Example 1(a).
