Articles

The chemistry of organoazides is exceedingly rich, since the azide functionality reacts with electrophiles, nucleophiles, and dipolarophiles, with or without the extrusion of dinitrogen. Common place transformation such as Staudinger reductions or ligations, Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloadditions (of the “click” reaction family), Curtius or Schmidt rearrangents, nitrene reactions, or imine formation via aza-Wittig reactions all necessitate organoazide precursors or intermediates
