Functionalization of Tetrazoles Bearing the Electrochemically Cleavable 1N-(6-Methylpyridyl-2-methyl) Protecting Group.

6-Methylpyridyl-2-methyl protected tetrazoles can be C-H deprotonated using the turbo-Grignard reagent and involved in the reactions with aldehydes and ketones. The protecting group can be cleaved under reductive electrochemical conditions using Pb bronze as a cathode and Zn as a sacrificial anode.
