Abstract

Solid Ba(OH)2 suspended in toluene containing HMPA [O=P(NMe 2)3] reacts with the 5-aminothiatriazole, naphthyl NH·C=N·N=N·S, to give the monomeric 5- mercaptotetrazolylbarium complex, [naphthlyl N·N=N·N- ..C (-..S)]2Ba·3HMPA, 1; the isolation and structural characterisation of 1 sheds new light on the known alkali-promoted rearrangement of 5-amino-substituted thiatriazoles into 5-thio-substituted tetrazoles.
