Novel synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted <i>s</i>‐tetrazines

Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of unsymmetrical 3‐aryl and 3‐heterocyclic s ‐tetrazines has been examined and the scope of the reaction and the product distribution is discussed. The products included unsymmetrical and symmetrical s ‐tetrazines, hydrazines, diimides, tetrazoles and triazoles with the composition of the mixtures with respect to structural type varying with the individual reactions. Some transformations with the system are discussed.
