A Phosphine‐Mediated Conversion of Azides into Diazo Compounds

Abstract N2 the mild : Diazo compounds are extremely versatile intermediates for synthetic organic chemistry, but their synthesis can be challenging in the presence of delicate functional groups. The Staudinger ligation has inspired a mild method for the conversion of a broad range of azides into their diazo compound derivatives through an acyl triazene intermediate. magnified image
