Disclosed are a compound of the formula (R).sub.3 SnN.sub.3, wherein R is a C.sub.7-18 alkyl, and a process for producing a tetrazolylbenzene compound which comprises reacting a cyanobenzene compound with a (R).sub.3 SnN.sub.3. This process is useful for a safe and commercially profitable production of the tetrazolylbenzene compound which is employed for producing a tetrazole derivative having a hypotensive action based on angiotensin II-antagonizing activity or a production intermediate thereof.
