An electrochemical multicomponent reaction toward C–H tetrazolation of alkyl arenes and vicinal azidotetrazolation of alkenes

Abstract

, alkanes and alkenes, toward the preparation of diverse tetrazoles remains elusive. Herein, we developed an electrochemical multicomponent reaction (e-MCR) for highly efficient and selective C-H tetrazolation of alkyl arenes. When applied to alkenes, the corresponding vicinal azidotetrazoles were readily obtained, which were further demonstrated to be versatile building blocks and potential high-energy materials.
