Hydrochloric Acid → Tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Hydrazino-quinazolin-4-one (IIIb) (17.6 g; 0.1 mole), was suspended in 2 N-hydrochloric acid (78 ml; 0.156 mole) in a 600 ml beaker equipped with a thermometer and efficient stirrer. 15% w/v aqueous NaNO2 solution was added at such a rate that the temperature remained between 20° and 25° C., cooling with a water bath when necessary, until a small permanent excess of nitrous acid was present. The volume of the nitrite solution used was 63 ml (=9.45 g NaNO2 ; 0.137 mole). The reaction mixture was then stirred for 1 hour, filtered, and the solid washed acid free with water. After pulling as dry as possible on the filter, the product was dried completely in a vacuum desiccator over phosphorus pentoxide.
