Energetic Properties, and Thermodynamics of Formation of Energetic Nitrogen-Rich Salts Containing Substituted Protonated and Methylated Tetrazole Cations A Computational Study. /. Phys. Chem. C, 114,13142-13152, ISSN 1520-6106. 

The computational results (93JA2465) are consistent with the experimental findings of NMR spectroscopic studies (82JOC5132 97MRC35), which showed the presence of only the H tautomer of tetrazole in DMSO-dfi e = 49) solution. The content of H tautomer 27a in dioxane e = 22) at 30°C was estimated as 78% (82JST283) and 85% (75BSF1675) from its dipole moment 4.88 D and those of 1,5- and 2,5-dimethyltetrazoles as models for the H and 2H tautomers respectively. 

In a recent paper by Salimbeni et al. [2], a novel series of such All antagonists has been presented on the basis of a comparative analysis of theoretical distributions of the electrostatic potential (inactive compounds and overlay studies, employing a computational model of an All active conformation, it was found that the compound named LR-B/081 [3, 4] (C3oH30N603S), i.e. 2-[(6-butyl-2-methyl-4-oxo-5- 4-[2-(lH-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl] benzyl -3H-pyrimidin-3-yl)methyl]-3-thiophenecarboxylate (Scheme 1), was one of the most potent in the series, and was selected as a candidate for further studies.
