5-Methylthio-1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrazole reacts with O-nucleophiles such as HO- and AlkO- to form 1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrazol-5(4H)-one and 5-alkoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrazoles, respectively. Replacement of the methylthio group in the substrate by methylsulfonyl group strongly increases its reactivity, so that 5-methylsulfonyl-1-(4-nitrophenyl)tetrazole is a promising starting compound for synthesis of functionally substituted tetrazoles.
