Photoswitchable strategy for selective azidation of structurally diverse olefins under transition-metal-free conditions is reported. The unprecedented reactivity of trimethylsulfonium [bis(azido)iodate(I)] species under visible light allows radical azidooxygenation of the C═C π bond with distinctive selectivity. In the absence of visible light, the reaction proceeds through an ionic intermediate which
This report discloses the photochemical homolytic cleavage of iodine azide after its formation following release from polymer‐bound bisazido iodate(I) anions. A series of radical reactions are reported including the 1,2‐functionlization of alkenes and the unprecedented chemoselective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols.
AbstractAn approach to the vicinal oxyazidation of alkenes has been achieved under mild and transition metal‐free conditions. This method utilizes NaN3 as the azidation agent and 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEMPO+BF4−) as the single‐electron oxidant as well as the oxygen source. By using this protocol, various β‐aminooxy azides were synthesized and several complex bioactive molecules were functionalized.magnified image
