This work describes the first and unprecedented examples of inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reactions of 5-(1-nitrosovinyl)-1-phenyl-1H-tetrazole, generated in situ from the corresponding bromooxime, with electron rich alkenes and heterocycles, providing in good overall yields tetrazolyl-1,2-oxazines and -oximes. Upon subsequent reduction these allowed the access to 5-(1-aminoalkyl)-1H-tetrazoles, paving the way for a new entry into this important class of compounds, bioisosteres of α-amino acids.
