2-Phenyl-5-substituted phenyltetrazole and 2-substituted phenyl-5-phenyltetrazole were prepared from the corresponding hydrazone and phenyl azide with 2-methoxyethanol and metallic sodium as reaction medium at 110~115 $^{\circ}C$. At this reaction condition, however, the preparation of 2-substituted phenyl-5-phenyltetrazoles with substituents of relatively high Hammett substituent constant was unsuccessful. Surprisingly it was found that the solvent molecule was exchanged with substituent during the reaction when tried to obtain 2-m-fluorophenyl-5-phenyltetrazole using benzaldehyde m-fluorophenylhydrazone as starting material. Also disscussed the effect of electronic nature of substituents on the formation of 2,5-diphenyltetrazole derivatives.
