A theoretical investigation has been carried out of the reaction of 6-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-sym-tetrazin-3-ylhydrazones of ketones with enamines such as 1-morpholinocyclopentene and 1-piperidino-cyclopentene. A [4+2] cycloaddition mechanism of unsymmetrical 3,6-disubstituted tetrazines with enamines is proposed (the Carboni–Lindsey reaction). As a result only one product is preferentially obtained, having a substituent in the ortho position relative to the dimethylpyrazolyl radical, however in the case of small steric problems under kinetic conditions, control of the process is possible and all possible stereoisomers are obtained.
