C-H Insertion by Alkylidene Carbenes To Form 1,2,3-Triazines and Anionic [3 + 2] Dipolar Cycloadditions To Form Tetrazoles: Crucial Roles of Stereoelectronic and Steric Effects.

The synthesis of 1,2,3-triazines and bicyclic tetrazoles from α-azido ketones is described. The common intermediate generated from lithiated trimethylsilyldiazomethane and α-azido ketones diverges depending on the steric bulk of the substituents. The formation of 1,2,3-triazines via a C-H insertion of alkylidene carbene to form 3-azidocyclopropene, followed by its rearrangement, is supported by density functional theory calculations. Tetrazole formation proceeds via a facile anionic [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition between a lithiated diazo moiety and an azido group facilitated by the chelation of a lithium ion.
