Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The reaction of 5-hydrazinotetrazole with formaldehyde in acid media was studied. Copolymers of these compounds are formed at pH ∼ 6.0. In contrast, opening of the tetrazole ring and formation of a previously unknown copolymer of 1,3,4-aza-2-azido-1,4-pentene with formaldehyde occurs at pH ∼3.0. The ratio of nitrogen-containing and oxymethylene units depends on the ratio of the starting reagents and solvent. The existence of terminal hydroxyl groups in the 1,3,4-aza-2-azido-1,4-pentene oligomer was demonstrated by acetylation.
