【Structural Formula】

1. Product Property

Aminotetrazole is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of CH₃N₅. It has a melting point of approximately 201–205°C and is slightly soluble in water (12 g/L at 18°C). It is also soluble in alcohol but insoluble in ether. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may decompose when exposed to strong bases or high temperatures. It is sensitive to light and moisture and should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment.

3. Application Scope and Usage

5-Aminotetrazole is widely used as a building block in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of tetrazole derivatives, which are important in medicinal chemistry due to their bioactive properties. It is also used in the development of corrosion inhibitors, photographic chemicals, and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Its high nitrogen content makes it valuable in the production of gas-generating agents and other nitrogen-rich materials

4. Package and Storage

5-Aminotetrazole is typically packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles or drums to ensure product integrity and safety. Common packaging sizes include 25 g, 100 g, 500 g, and 1 kg for laboratory use, and larger quantities such as 25 kg or 50 kg drums for industrial applications. The product should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and acids.
