Reaction Steps

Other substituted tetrazolobenzotriazines of the general formula shown above are made by the procedure, of the foregoing examples using appropriately substituted 5-(2-aminophenyl)tetrazoles as starting materials. For example, in this way 5-(2-amino-4-chlorophenyl)tetrazole is reacted with nitrous acid to make 8-chlorotetrazolo[4,5-C][1,2,3]benzotriazine; 5-(2-amino-4-methylphenyl)tetrazole is reacted to make 8-methyltetrazolo[4,5-C][1,2,3]benzotriazine; 5-(2-amino-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)tetrazole is reacted to make 8,9-dimethoxytetrazolo[4,5-C][1,2,3]benzotriazine; 5-(2-amino-5-nitrophenyl)tetrazole is reacted to make 9-nitrotetrazolo[4,5-C][1,2,3]benzotriazine; 5-(2-amino-4,5-dichlorophenyl)tetrazole is reacted to make 8,9-dichlorotetrazolo[4,5-C][1,2,3]benzotriazine; and 5-(2-amino-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)tetrazole is reacted to produce 8-trifluoromethyl)tetrazolo[4,5-C][1,2,3]benzotriazine. These substituted tetrazolobenzotriazine products have explosive properties similar to those of the products of Examples 1-3.
