This present work aims at synthesizing a novel tetrazole from phenothiazine. Phenothiazine is converted into a nitrile by reacting it with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, sodium metabisulphite and sodium cyanide. The nitrile on treatment with NaN 3 /DMF yielded the corresponding tetrazole. The tetrazole obtained was characterized by IR, 1 H NMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis.
