S, S'-Bis(1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) dithiocarbonate (1) was synthesized in good yield from 1-phenyl-5-mercapto-5H-tetrazole (2) and trichloromethyl chloroformate (TCF). THe structure of 1 was confirmed by using X-ray crystal analysis. The reagent (1) could be applied to the formatio of amides, Friedel-Crafts type reactions, isothiocyanate syntheses, and carbonyl group insertion reactions.
