Diels-Alder Reactions of 3-(1H-Tetrazol-5-yl)-nitrosoalkenes: Synthesis of Functionalized 5-(Substituted)-1H-tetrazoles. -Cycloaddition of in situ generated nitrosoalkene [from oxime (I)] with cyclic enol ethers, cyclopentadiene, phenoxyallene as well as electron-rich heterocycles provides access towards oxazine (IX), (XI), (XIII), (XV), (XVII) or their regioisomeric oxime structures, e.g. (III), bearing an N-protected tetrazole ring. The tetrazole ring can be deprotected by transfer hydrogenation. Reduction of the oxime structure and subsequent tetrazole deprotection provides access towards masked α-amino acid structures [cf. (VII)]. -(LOPES, S. M. M.; PALACIOS, F.; LEMOS, A.; PINHO E MELO*, T. M. V. D.; Tetrahedron 67 (2011) 46, 8902-8909, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tet.2011.09.051 ; Dep. Chem., Univ.
