New unsymmetrical alkyl-s-tetrazines: original syntheses, fluorescence and electrochemical behaviour

Abstract

Despite previous report of failure of this reaction, a series of new monoalkyltetrazines and a dialkyltetrazine have been prepared by nucleophilic aromatic substitution, albeit sometimes in moderate yields. In addition to the original synthetic procedure, the fluorescence and electrochemical behaviour of these new compounds have been reported.
