In our hands, the use of sodium hydroxide often gave a liquid product containing much unreacted benzenesulfonyl chloride and difficult to crystallize and purify, while with pyridine no such difficulty was encountered |

The use of isolated sulfonic acid esters of oximes is described in the patent literature (ref. 1); but later workers (ref. 2,3) have carried out the reaction with the esters generated in situ, with fair to poor results |

Although the method is claimed to be widely applicable,<sup>1</sup> in our experience marked difference in the stabilities and reactivities of O-sulfonyl oximes make it necessary to work out optimum conditions individually in many cases |

Coll., Acetoxime may also be prepared readily from acetone, 18% aqueous sodium hydroxide and commercially available hydroxylamine hydrochloride. An equivalent amount of a wet product (about 95% pure) may be used in this step. |

If the temperature is allowed to climb much above 30°, an uncontrollable exothermic decomposition sets in. |

Samples of acetoxime benzenesulfonate kept at room temperature have undergone vigorous exothermic decomposition. While the material may be kept under refrigeration, prolonged storage of large samples is inadvisable |

Wet methanol recovered from a previous run may be used but then it should be supplemented with 100-150 ml. of fresh methanol, and a correspondingly smaller amount of water should be used with the sodium azide, which may be added as a slurry with 100-150 ml. of water |

The use of larger amounts of material than described here is not recommended, because of difficulty in controlling the exothermic reaction |

Prior to distillation, the solution should be tested for acidity with pH paper. If acidic, it should be neutralized with sodium hydroxide to prevent the generation of explosive and toxic hydrazoic acid. The volume of distillate (1100-1200 ml.) assumes no vapor loss during the reaction and subsequent distillation. In any case, care should be taken not to overheat the residue in the flask, as some decomposition may occur. |

Evaporation to dryness may be done on a steam bath and is hastened by occasional thorough cooling of the residue and removal of crystallized solids by filtration with suction and their further drying in the air at ambient temperature. Alternatively, a rotary vacuum evaporator may be used. |

In the early extractions, there is a tendency for the pores of the Büchner funnel to become clogged through flash evaporation of the hot benzene. This can be prevented by pinching off the hose leading to the aspirator as soon as a vacuum has been established in the filtering flask. The filtration should be done in a hood with care to avoid inhaling vapors of the very toxic benzene. |

In production of 1,5-dimethyltetrazole on a large scale, the second benzene extract would be used to extract a second 360-g portion of solids (Portion B), and the third benzene extract would be used to extract Portion B a second time and then a third, fresh portion (Portion C), etc., so that each portion of solids is extracted five times, and only the last time with fresh benzene. The senior author has carried out these systematic extractions on kg-sized portions of solids in a 5-1. flask for the production of several kilograms of 1,5-dimethyltetrazole. The extraction might also be carried out with a Soxhlet extractor with an electrically heated solids chamber. Chloroform has been used for the extraction (ref. 2) but seems to have no advantage over the less expensive benzene. |

The recovered benzene may be reused, if desired. |

While there have been no reports of explosions from heating 1,5-dimethyltetrazole, suitable precautions should be taken against damage in the event of an explosion at this stage, as benzenesulfonyl azide and other explosive azo compounds are likely contaminants. |
