Abstract Homologous 4, 5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1H-tetrazole-l-alkanoic and alkanesulfonic acids were prepared by reaction of sodium azide with methyl (carboxyalkyl)-and (sulfoalkyl) carbamodithioates, respectively. 4, 5-Dihydro-5-thioxo-1H-tetrazole-i-alkanamides were derived from the corresponding alkanoic acids by aminolysis of their acid chlorides or imidazolides. Analogous alkane-sulfonamides were synthesized by the reaction of methyl ...
