Abstract

Abstract We have obtained 5-phenyltetrazol-2-ylalkanoic acids and their derivatives containing terminal nitrile, amide, and tetrazol-5-yl groups. Tetrazolylalkanoic acids with two (p K a 4.93) and three (p K a 5.45) bridging methylene groups are weaker acids than the corresponding ditetrazoles p K a 4.68 and 5.29 respectively). However, the acidity of 5- phenyltetrazol-2-ylacetic acid (p K a 3.12), is higher than acidity of the corresponding ...
