Azoles with 3-4 Heteroatoms

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Metalation of Azoles and Related Five-Membered Ring Heterocycles

Part of the book series: Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry ((TOPICS,volume 29))

Abstract

Direct metalation of various 1,2,3-triazoles, 1,2,4-triazoles, tetrazoles, and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is reviewed through early 2012. The monograph is divided into sections by heterocycle; the most attention is paid to lithiation chemistry, however, transmetalation, directed ortho-lithiation, and other applications are noted where applicable.
