Abstract: This study presents a nitrogen-centered radical reaction designed for undergraduate experimental teaching. By performing the same experiment under three different conditions, students become more familiar with the experimental procedures while deepening their understanding of the characteristics of radical reactions. The experiment is characterized by its simplicity, high efficiency, and reproducibility. Additionally, it incorporates elements of curriculum ideology and politics, such as energy conservation, emission reduction, and green chemistry, thereby fostering students’ scientific research and innovation skills. This reaction is well-suited for promotion as an undergraduate teaching experiment.

Key words: Radical reaction, Green chemistry, Pyrazole, Undergraduate experimental teaching
