Green-light induced cycloadditions

We introduce a red-shifted tetrazole that is able to undergo efficient nitrile imine-mediated tetrazole-ene cycloaddition (NITEC) under blue and green light irradiation. We provide a detailed wavelength-dependent reactivity map, and employ a number of LEDs for high-conversion small molecule and polymer end-group modification.
