The photochemical extrusion of gaseous nitrogen from 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles to generate reactive nitrilimines in situ represents an efficient and attractive way to form dipoles that can be used to provide useful chemicals via 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. The concept of “photoclick chemistry” already inspired numerous researchers, who exploited photochemical processes involving...
