5-(2-(4-methyl-phenyl)-benzyl)-tetrazole was synthesized by reaction of 2-(4-methyl-phenyl)-benzonitrile and sodium azide in the presence of zinc(II) choride according to the procedure described in the literature method (Dunica, et al., 1991). To a toluene solution (50 ml) containing 5-(2-phenyl-benzyl)-tetrazole (112 mg, 0.5 mmol) and chlorotriphenylmethane (161 mg, 0.5 mmol) was added 5 ml of an aqueous solution of NaOH (22 mg, 0.55 mol). The mixture was stirred for 8 h until a precipitation was observed. After filtration and washing with 2 ml e thanol, the crude product was collected and re-crystallized by slowly evaporating its ethyl acetate solution to obtain colorless block shaped crystals.
Positional parameters of all the H atoms were calculated geometrically and were allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).
Studies on compounds containing a tetrazole ring were in recent years highly stimulated by its a wide range of applications in coordination chemistry as ligands, in medicinal chemistry as a metabolically stable surrogate for a carboxylic acid group, and in materials science as high density energy materials (Hu, et al., 2007, Wang, et al., 2005; Dunica, et al., 1991; Wittenberger et al., 1993). We report here the crystal structure of 2-triphenylmethyl-5-(2-(4-methyl-phenyl)-benzyl)-tetrazole.
The tetrazole moiety is substituted by a triphenyl-methyl group in the position of N2 and a 2-(4-methyl-phenyl)-benzyl group in the position of C1. The bond distances and bond angles of tetrazole functional group are similar to those found in other tetrazole-containing compounds (Wang, et al., 2005; ARP et al., 2000; Hu, et al., 2007). Geometric parameters are in the usual ranges. The tetrazole rings encloses dihedral angles of 45.76 (9)°, 71.44 (8)° and 72.38 (6)° with the three phenyl rings of the triphenylmethyl residue. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring directly attached to the tetrazole ring is 49.13 (8)° and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of the biphenyl moiety is 54.29 (8)°.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Studies on compounds containing a tetrazole ring were in recent years highly stimulated by its a wide range of applications in coordination chemistry as ligands, in medicinal chemistry as a metabolically stable surrogate for a carboxylic acid group, and in materials science as high density energy materials (Hu, et al., 2007, Wang, et al., 2005; Dunica, et al., 1991; Wittenberger et al., 1993). We report here the crystal structure of 2-triphenylmethyl-5-(2-(4-methyl-phenyl)-benzyl)-tetrazole.
The tetrazole moiety is substituted by a triphenyl-methyl group in the position of N2 and a 2-(4-methyl-phenyl)-benzyl group in the position of C1. The bond distances and bond angles of tetrazole functional group are similar to those found in other tetrazole-containing compounds (Wang, et al., 2005; ARP et al., 2000; Hu, et al., 2007). Geometric parameters are in the usual ranges. The tetrazole rings encloses dihedral angles of 45.76 (9)°, 71.44 (8)° and 72.38 (6)° with the three phenyl rings of the triphenylmethyl residue. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring directly attached to the tetrazole ring is 49.13 (8)° and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of the biphenyl moiety is 54.29 (8)°.
