Iron-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenative coupling of ethers with aryl tetrazoles

An iron-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenative coupling of ethers with aryl tetrazoles has been developed. A wide variety of tetrazoles and ethers survived the reaction conditions to deliver the corresponding hemiaminal derivatives in moderate to good yields.
