“…The solid which had separated was collected, dissolved in dichloromethane, and reprecipitated with ether. The pure tetrazolium salt had: mp 156.5-157.5 °C (9.9 g); IR rmax 1598, 1500, 1450, 1424, 1055 (vs, BF4"), 776, 695 cm"1; UV Xmax (CH2C12) 271 (sh) nm (e 4000); NMR SMe4s¡ (Me2SO-d6) 1.69 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 3), 2.88 (s, 3), 5.05 (q, J = 7.5 Hz, 2), 6.80 (s, 5 the lower melting point, this fraction was identical ( NMR) with the analytical sample. Prolonged drying in vacuo reduced the total weight of product from 24.3 to 23.1 g (100%).…”
