摘要
Kinetic measurements for the degradation of 4-hydroxyphenylpentazole (2a) and its salt 2b-NBu4 in CD3OD and in CD2Cl2 provided a set of activation parameters. The resulting free energies of activation in methanol (DeltaG(double dagger)298 = 19.7 kcal/mol for 2a and DeltaG(double dagger)298 = 20.6 kcal/mol for 2b-NBu4) were compared with previous results for the 4-chloro derivative, 2c, and collectively correlated with results of gas-phase calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. This, and another linear correlation of the seven computed DeltaG(double dagger)298 values with the previously reported kinetic data of Ugi and Huisgen, gave the basis for the estimation of the stability of pentazole anion (1) and its derivatives in solutions. Thus, N-5(-) is predicted to have t(1/2) = 2.2 d, while the half-lifetime for HN5 is expected to be only about 10 min in methanol at 0 degreesC. Controlled ozonolysis of 2b-NBu4 followed by H-1 and N-15 NMR spectroscopy shows a preferential destruction of the N-5 ring, which excludes it from possible methods for preparation of the parent pentazole.
