Description

2-Methyl-5-amino-2H-tetrazole is a reactive compound that undergoes metathesis reactions with alkali metal hydroxides to form tetrazoles. This compound is typically used as a reagent in the synthesis of organic compounds, such as nitriles and amines. The crystal x-ray diffraction analysis of 2-methyl-5-amino-2H-tetrazole reveals an orthorhombic crystal system with space group P212121. The structure consists of a central N atom, surrounded by four methyl groups and six hydrogen atoms.

The UV irradiation of 2-methyl-5-amino-2H tetrazole results in the formation of cyanamide and the absorption spectrum peaks at 225 nm. Tetrazole is also susceptible to oxidation by air and moisture to produce nitrate ions or sodium hydroxide solution. Single crystal x ray diffraction analysis shows that this compound has
