Abstract

A one-pot conversion of alkyl azides to diazo compounds is outlined. After azido group protection of α-azidocarbonyl compounds, treatment of the resulting phosphazides with silica gel in a wet solvent afforded α-diazo carbonyl products by azide-deprotective conversion. Competitive reactions of α-azido amides with alkyl and aryl azides demonstrate azide-site selectivity. Azide-site selective click functionalization by this one-pot sequence is also demonstrated with diazido compounds.
