Versatile building block in Retro-Diels-Alder reactions

Dimethyl 1,2,4,5-Tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate

Dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate is a highly versatile heteroaromatic azadiene that has garnered considerable attention for its exceptional reactivity and its ability to engage in retro-Diels-Alder reaction with a wide range of dienophiles and heterodienophiles1. This compound enables the synthesis of substituted 1,2-diazines, 1,2,4-triazines, pyrroles, pyridines, indolines, and related condensed heterocycles through cycloaddition reactions that have an operationally simple procedure2,3. The mildness of the reaction conditions and predictable positional selectivity, high level of functional group compatibility make this heteroaromatic azadiene perfect as a reagent for pharmaceutically important targets1,2,4.

Synonyms: 3,6-dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate
