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 A1 represents alkoxy and A2 represents hydrogen, alkyl, or fluoroalkyl), characterized by reacting a 1- (alkoxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole compound represented by the general formula (1): (wherein A1 and A2 are the same as defined above) with hexamethylenetetramin e 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 .
