Charette Based, in part, on the review: Organic Azides: An Exploding Diversity of a Unique Class of Compounds Stefan Bräse, Carmen Gil, Kerstin Knepper and Viktor Zimmerman Angew. Chem. Int.

OUTLINE 2 • Introduction, properties • Preparation of azides • Aryl azides • Alkenyl azides • Alkyl azides • Acyl azides • … • Reactivity of azides • Cycloadditions • Rearrangement • … • Conclusion
INTRODUCTION 3 • Prepared first by Peter Grieß in 1864 (phenyl azide) followed by Curtius (hydrogen azide) • 1H-triazirine was the proposed structure which was rapidly revised in favor of the linear model • Most azides are explosive substances which decompose with the release of nitrogen ORTEP representation of 1,3,5-triazido-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene* *D. Adam, PhD Thesis, Ludwigs-Maximillians-Universität München (Germany), 2001
INTRODUCTION 4 • Structure 1d explain the regioselectivity of the reactions with electrophiles (attacked by N1) and nucleophiles (attack on N3) • Structure 1c explain the facile decomposition into the corresponding nitrene and dinitrogen • Aromatic azides are stabilized by conjugation with the aromatic system
PREPARATION OF AZIDES 5 • 1- Synthesis of Azides derivatives • In principle, 5 methods could achieve azide preparation: • Insertion of the N3 group (substitution or addition) • Insertion of an N2 group (diazo transfer) • Insertion of a nitrogen atom (diazotization) • Cleavage of triazines and analogous compounds • Rearrangement of azides
