Metal-assisted reactions. Part 25. Heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis of allyloxytetrazoles to yield alkenes or alkanes
Abstract
Transfer hydrogenolysis of 5-allyloxy-l-phenyltetrazoles using either a heterogeneous or a homogeneous palladium catalyst and a hydrogen donor leads to cleavage of the allyloxy C–O bond to yield an alkane or an alkene and 1-phenyltetrazolone, depending on the catalyst used.
