The reactions of hydrazoic acid (HN3) with ethene, acetylene, formaldimine (H2C=NH), and HCN were explored with the high-accuracy CBS-QB3 method, as well as with the B3LYP and mPW1K density functionals. CBS-QB3 predicts that the activation energies for the reactions of hydrazoic acid with ethylene, acetylene, formaldimine, and HCN have remarkably similar activation enthalpies of 19.0, 19.0, 21.6, and 25.2 kcal/mol, respectively. The reactions are calculated to have reaction enthalpies of -21.5 for triazoline formation from ethene, and -63.7 kcal/mol for formation of the aromatic triazole from acetylene. The reaction to form tetrazoline from formaldimine has a reaction enthalpy of -8 kcal/mol (Delta G(rxn) = +5.6 kcal/mol), and the formation of tetrazole from HCN has a reaction enthalpy of -23.0 kcal/mol. The trends in the energetics of these processes are rationalized by differences in sigma-bond energies in the transition states and adducts, and the energy required to distort hydrazoic acid to its transition-state geometry. The density functionals predict activation enthalpies that are in relatively good agreement with CBS-QB3. the results differing from CBS-QB3 results by ca. 1-2 kcal/mol. Significant errors are revealed for mPW1K in predicting the reaction enthalpies for all reactions.
