Tetrazine

Tetrazine

Tetrazine is an unstable compound that consists of a six-membered aromatic ring containing four nitrogen atoms with the molecular formula C2H2N4. The name "tetrazine" is used in the nomenclature of derivatives of this compound. Three core-ring isomers exist: 1,2,3,4-tetrazines, 1,2,3,5-tetrazines and 1,2,4,5-tetrazines.

1,2,3,4-tetrazines

1,2,3,4-Tetrazines are often isolated fused to an aromatic ring system and are stablized as the dioxide derivatives.

1,2,4,5-tetrazine

1,2,4,5-Tetrazines are very well known and myriad 3,6-disubstituted 1,2,4,5-tetrazines are known. [(see United States Patent 6645325)] These materials are of use in the area of energetic chemistry.

The compound 3,6-di-2-pyridyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine [Datasheet: [http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/search/ProductDetail/ALDRICH/403547 Link] ] has two pyridine substituents and is of importance as a reagent in Diels-Alder reactions. It reacts with norbornadiene in a sequence of one DA reactions and two retro-DA reactions to cyclopentadiene and a pyridazine with exchange of an acetylene unit:

With norbornadiene fused to an arene the reaction stops at an intermediary stage ["π-Bond Screening in Benzonorbornadienes: The Role of 7-Substituents in Governing the Facial Selectivity for the Diels-Alder Reaction of Benzonorbornadienes with 3,6-Di(2-pyridyl)-s-Tetrazine".
