Studies That Were Conducted For Tetrazines Under The Field Chemistry

By Deborah Price


Not all people has the interest when it comes to the subject chemistry. Somehow, not everyone has the curiosity to go and dig deeper about all the compound elements and materials that are present especially on things and products that are eventually used on a daily basis. One topic that lights up curiosity to chemists out there is the study of Tetrazine. What makes it worth it to study for is that it is found to be an application for conjugation tags on materials connected to chemistry.

This compound are unlike the rest of discovered compounds that are often stable, this one is pretty much the opposite. The structure of which consists a six member of atomic rings that are apparently having nitrogen atoms of four. Its name was often used as the nomenclature for the derivatives on its compound.

This was discovered way back the nineteenth century and its very first synthesis was discovered by Pinner. Right after its discovery, few several groups have had focused on this compound and continue studying it. However, on the present state of chemistry and this subject there only were just three main purpose where it had trigger the attention to the research.

The very first purpose was its implication to inverse of Diels Alder reaction as its molecules are prepared and tailored for the reaction. The second in line was its remarkable nitrogen content on its molecule that may be used for some explosive materials. And, last but not the least, it was the preparation of the molecules to dipyridyl Stetrazines.

Somehow, this compound has its three core ring isomers which are one, two, three, four tetrazines, one, two, three, five and the last one would be one, two, four, five tetrazines. It can also be simply referred to as Vtetrazines, AStetrazines and Stetrazines, goes respectively. These three has its own characteristics which makes them unique on their own.

Out of these three, the AStetrazine is the one that is studied the least. There were only few scientists that had the courage to focus on this structure, maybe because there were only few interesting thing that was seen in it. Over the past decades, there were only two synthesis that was published which had focused on it and recently, not even a single component from this structure have been mentioned at all.

Now, out of the three system tetrazines have, the AStetrazines is something that is studied the least. There were no recent researches that have had mentioned any compound that may be from this structure. From the year being of nineteen seventy four, there were only two publications that have appeared which dealt with the said structure.

Now, the last one in the bunch is the favorite structure of all since it is the main subject of most studies regarding tetrazines. The Stetrazines have the structure that is often used on areas of chemistry such as energetic chemistry. This has pyridine substituents of two that makes it the most important in terms of Diels Alder reactions.

Though, there are plenty of chemists who have had their share of interest on this and had tried their luck on some experiments as well as researches, the publication says otherwise. Over the years, there were just three hundred publication that described tetrazines and the rest of its components. However, there may just be some breakthrough about this on the future.
