Azides are readily converted into their corresponding amines using a catalytic amount of Co2(CO)8 under mild conditions. The method is highly chemoselective and compatible with a variety of functionalities such as halides, esters, acids, ethers, nitro, cyano and olefinic double bonds present in the molecule.
                                    叠氮化合物在温和条件下通过少量Co2(CO)8催化,可以容易地转化为相应的胺。该方法具有高度的
化学选择性,并且与多种官能团相容,如分子中的卤素、酯、酸、醚、硝基、
氰基和烯烃双键等。
