5-Phenyltetrazole can be prepared by reacting benzonitrile with hydrazine or hydrazine salt, and then reacting with nitrous acid.
white to almost white crystalline powder
5-Phenyl-1H-tetrazole may be used as ligand in the solvothermal synthesis of 3D polyoxometalate-based silver coordination polymers. It was used in the synthesis of 5-phenyltetrazolate organolanthanide complexes. It was used to investigate the corrosion inhibition of copper in salt water.
5-Phenyl-1H-tetrazole can be used as an etching solution composing metal wire layer to improve the production efficiency of panel manufacturing and cost reduction.
Nucleophilic substitution reactions on 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene by the anions of 5-phenyl-1H-tetrazole has been investigated by paired electrosynthesis.
