Tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines have attracted attention in
DMSO-d6. These 1H and 13C NMR analyses of 3d:4d in DMSO-d6 showed a mixture of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine 3d and 2-azidopyrimidine 4d, which suggested the existence of a tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine2-azidopyrimidine equilibrium (3d4d, Figure 3a,b).
In solution, the tetrazole–azido equilibrium is
determine that over 90% of the mixture is in the form of 2-azidopyrimidine 4d in CDCl3. This proves the effect of the solvent in the tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine2-azidopyrimidine equilibrium. The highly polar DMSO-d6 favors the ring closure to form tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines in larger quantities (3d:4d in a

-methyl-2-azidopyrimidine 2c is not stable and converts into compound 3 during standing on open air for 9 days without a solvent. Compound 3 was obtained also by the reaction of ester 1c with 5-AT in ethanol at room temperature; azidopyrimidine 2с was detected by TLC as an intermediate in this reaction
) in tetrazolopyrimidine fragment, as well as cross-peaks between H-6’ proton (δ 9.02 ppm) and C-5’ (δ 120.17 ppm) and C-2’ (δ 163.41 ppm) carbons in azidopyrimidine system supported structure 3.
The formation of bis-heterocycle 3 is due to the unique structure of the starting 2-azidopyrimidine 2c
