title: The synthesis and solid state structure of (8S)-8-benzyl-8,9-dihydro-7H-tetrazolo[1,5-d][1,4]diazepin-6-one.
abstract: An unusual tetrazolodiazepin-6-one was prepared and shown, by X-ray crystallography, to adopt an essentially planar conformation about the tetrazole ring with geometry that closely approximates a cis-amide bond.
