The thermal decarboxylation of 2-methoxycarbonyl-5-(4′-nitrophen-oxy)tetrazole (1a) with the electron-rich, aromatic compounds (anisole, N,N-dimethylaniline, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene), neat or in polar solvents (DMSO, DMF, and CH3CN), is investigated. The solid phase thermal decomposition of a mixture of 1a, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, and a Lewis acid (AlCl3) produces methyl-2,4-dimethoxysalicylate (8) in good yield, instead of the expected 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzoic acid. The X-ray structure of 8 shows intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl oxygen and hydrogens of Me and OH groups. A measured pKa value of 6.8 compares well with a value of 6.4 estimated using the [C=O···H···O] hydrogen bond distances.Key words: antitumor, novel synthesis, X-ray structure, hydrogen bonds, computational analysis.

四唑(1a)与富电子芳香化合物(
甲氧基苯、
N,N-二甲基苯胺、1,4-二
甲氧基苯和
1,3,5-三甲氧基苯)在无溶剂或极性溶剂(
DMSO、
DMF和CH3CN)中的热脱羧反应。将1a、
1,3,5-三甲氧基苯和Lewis酸(
AlCl3)混合物的固相热分解产物为甲基-2,4-二甲氧基
水杨酸酯(8),而不是预期的
2,4,6-三甲氧基苯甲酸。8的X射线结构显示了羰基氧原子与Me和OH基团的氢键内部作用。实测pKa值为6.8,与使用[C=O···H···O]氢键距离估计的值6.4相符。关键词:抗肿瘤、新型合成、X射线结构、氢键、计算分析。
