“…Two N oxide O atoms in positions 1 and 3 of the tetrazine ring substantially stabilize the system. 1,2,3,4 Tetrazine 1,3 di oxides annulated with the benzene, 2 pyridine, 3 and furazan rings 2 are known to be comparatively stable. Fused 1,2,3,4 tetrazines that contain no N oxide O atoms (e.g., 2 phenyl 2H [1,2,3]triazolo [4,5 e] [1,2,3,4]tetrazine 4 ) or only one O atom of this kind (e.g., benzotetrazine 1 oxides 2 ), are much less stable.…”
