Abstract

Electrochemical synthesis has been used to selectively cleave off the nitrogen ring form p-methoxyphenylpentazole. Evidence suggesting that the pentazole ring leaves the molecule as on entity is presented. The results of quantum chemical calculations supporting and enabling the experimental work are also presented.
