Abstract: | The thermolysis of 5-methyl-1-phenyltetrazole was studied at 20–350°C by derivatography and mass spectrometry, and it was
shown that thermal decomposition proceeds with the elimination of a molecule of nitrogen and is accompanied by skeletal rearrangement
of the intermediately formed nitrene to 2-methylbenzimidazole or migration of the methyl group to the nitrogen atom with the
formation of methylphenylcarbodiimide (MPCD). In addition, symmetrical dimethyl- and diphenylcarbodiimides, methylphenylguanidines,
and aniline are formed. It is assumed that the formation of these compounds in the pyrolyzate is due to polymerization of
MPCD and subsequent thermal destruction of the polymerization products. A scheme for the thermolysis of 5-methyl-1-phenyltetrazole
is proposed.
