This laboratory experiment will help the student investigate the synthesis of a novel and useful class of heterocycles (tetrazines) and their application to Diels-Alder chemistry. The student will also learn new aspects of Diels-Alder chemistry, both forward and reverse reactions, and will apply these ideas in a three-step sequence involving heterocyclic chemistry.
