Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (20 ml) (prepared from 0.46 g sodium) was added 3-(5-tetrazolyl) thioxanthone-10,10-dioxide (6.24g). Methyl iodide (2.84 g) was added and the mixture boiled under reflux for 2 hrs. During the reflux period a yellow product was deposited. On cooling it was filtered off, washed with water and recrystallised twice from acetic acid to give 3-(2-methyl-5-tetrazolyl)thioxanthone-10,10-dioxide as yellow needles, m.p. 204°-205° C.
