ALKOXYTETRAZOL-1-YLBENZALDEHYDE COMPOUND AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A process for producing an alkoxytetrazol-1-ylbenzaldehyde compound represented by the general formula (2): (wherein A<1> represents alkoxy and A<2> represents hydrogen, alkyl, or fluoroalkyl), characterized by reacting a 1-(alkoxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole compound represented by the general formula (1): (wherein A<1> and A<2> are the same as defined above) with hexamethylenetetramine in a sulfonic acid solvent and subsequently hydrolyzing the reaction product. Thus, an alkoxytetrazol-1-ylbenzaldehyde compound can be safely and efficiently produced by formylating a 1-(alkoxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole compound.
