Abstract

These reactions can be compared with related processes in the literature. 12 3, 6-Di (2'- pyridyl)-s-tetrazine reacts under mild conditions with both 7-oxanorbornadienes and norbornadienes to form furans and cyclopentadienes, re-~ pective1y. l~ However, the reagent requires a lengthy synthesis, and the reaction is not adaptable to the synthesis of arenes.(The latter is also true for the reaction between oxazoles and alkynes to afford ...
