Alkylation of 1-phenyltetrazolone 10a with 2-cyclohexen-1-yl bromide followed by dehydrogenation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone permits introduction of a phenyl group at N-4 of the tetrazole ring via the sequence 10a -> 10f -> 10g.The photoextrusion of molecular nitrogen from the (N-4)-substituted 1-phenyltetrazolones, 10a (hydrogen), 10b (methyl), 10d,e (propenyl), and 10g (phenyl) produces essentially quantitative yields of the corresponding benzimidazolones 14a,b,d,e,g.On irradiation of the 1-phenyltetrazolethiones 8b,f,g the carbodiimides 22b,f,g are obtained together with molecular nitrogen and sulfur, while 8a affords phenylcyanamide (25).In contrast to the thermolysis, which is known to give 2-(methylamino)benzothiazole (21b), photolysis of the (phenylimino)-1,2,3,4-thiatriazole 24, an isomer of methylphenyltetrazolethione 8b, also yields molecular nitrogen, sulfur, and methylphenylcarbodiimide (22b).
