In recent years reaction under solvent free conditions gaining much popularity because under solvent free conditions products obtains in high yield, avoids the use of hazardous and expensive solvents, and makes the manipulation much easier.
Tetrazoles and triazines posses wide class of biological activities [1,2,3,4,5,6]. It is known that fused tetrazoles can be prepared by employing Schmidt reaction of ketones with hydrazoic acid or inorganic azides [1], but inorganic azides are poorly soluble in organic solvent results increase in reaction time and decrease in yield. So, we wished to carry out above reaction under solvent media using anhydrous AlCl3 as catalyst.
Mixture of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (0.696 g, 0.004 mol) 1, and Sodium azide (1.3 g, 0.020 mol) was ground portion-wise with anhydrous aluminium chloride (0.012 mol) taken in the mortor, continued the grinding for 20 min, During grinding considerable heat liberates which is sufficient to complete the reaction. After the completion of the reaction, reaction mixture was poured into water obtained solid was filtered, washed with water, recrystallised from aqueous DMF.
Melting Point: 151-152 oC
MS (m/z, %): 214 ([M+H]+, 100%).
IR (KBr, cm-1): 1525, 1480, 1425, and 1245 (tetrazole region), 1650 (C=N)
1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): 4.35 (2H, s, -CH2); 2.54 (3H, s, CH3); 6.90-7.10 (5H, ArH,).
