Tetrazoles: XLIV. Synthesis and chemical properties of 5-substituted 2-triphenylmethyltetrazoles

Tritylation of tetrazole and its 5-substituted derivatives with triphenylmethyl chloride under conditions of phase-transfer catalysis regioselectively yields the corresponding 5-substituted 2-trityltetrazoles which can be used to protect N-H bonds in nitrogen-containing heterocycles and O-H bonds in primary alcohols. Thermolysis of 2-trityltetrazoles in benzonitrile leads to 3,6-disubstituted 1,2,4,5-tetrazines. Thermal transformation of the same compounds in dodecane follows a radically different mechanism, resulting in formation of difficultly accessible 8,8-diphenylheptafulvenes. The structure of the latter was proved by X-ray analysis.
