Regioselective β-organoseleno/α-,N2-tetrazole addition to alkenes

Abstract

A method for the regioselective β-organoseleno/α-,N2-tetrazole addition to alkenes is reported. PhSeCl acts dually as a selenylating agent and a bridging agent for blocking the N1 position of tetrazoles, thereby directing selectivity towards the N2 position. The reactions show a broad substrate scope, accommodating various tetrazoles and alkenes, and are executed under mild conditions.
