Formation and Pyrolysis of 1-(2′-Thiazolo [5,4-b] Pyridyl)-5-Aryltetrazoles

Abstract

1-(2′-Thiazolo [5,4-b] pyridyl)-5-aryltetrazoles (4) have been obtained by the reaction of 2-aroylaminothiazolo [5,4-b] pyridines (2) with phosphorus pentachloride and azidolysis of the resulting imidoyl chlorides. The products of pyrolysis of 1-(2′-thiazoio [5,4-b] pyridyl)-5-aryltetrazoles in decalin have been characterised as 2-aryl-1,2,4-triazolo [3′,2′:2,3]thiazolo[5,4-b] pyridines (6).
