Reaction Steps

Thus, 1-methyl-3-(1-methylpropyl)-5-(1-methylpropylthio)tetrazolium tetrafluoroborate (137 mg, 0.43 mmol) was introduced into a recovery flask; an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (prepared by the dissolution of sodium hydroxide (24 mg, 0.60 mmol) in water (10 mL)) was added to the recovery flask; and stirring was carried out for 30 minutes. Extraction with methylene chloride, drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and distillation of the solvent yielded 1-methyl-3-(1-methylpropyl)tetrazolium-5-olate (yield=65 mg, 100%).
