Reintroducing Azidodifluoromethane: Synthesis, Stability and [3+2] Cycloadditions

Azidodifluoromethane was prepared in 65 % yield from chlorodifluoromethane by a two‐step synthesis using tributyl(difluoromethyl)ammonium chloride as an intermediate. The resulting azide was used in Huisgen azide‐alkyne reactions and ketone [3+2] cycloadditions to access novel N ‐difluoromethyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles.
