The invention discloses a novel synthetic method for 5-phenyl
tetrazole, which includes the following steps: firstly performing acid
neutralization to hydrazine
hydrate; then adding mixing solution formed by cyanobenzene, water and ethyl
alcohol to generate phenyl aminoguanidine salt; adopting
sodium nitrite for diazotization to obtain nitrine
amidine under the acidic condition; obtaining 5-phenyl
tetrazole crude product through
closed loop under the alkaline condition; obtaining 5-phenyl
tetrazole acceptable product through adopting ethyl
alcohol for refining. The method has the advantages of simple technology, simplicity in operation and high product yield.
