An unprecedented electrochemical [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction for the synthesis of valuable tetrazoles was developed. Readily available azides and hydrazones were used as the starting materials under simple metal- and oxidant-free reaction conditions. Various functional groups are compatible with this green protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
