Abstract

The reduction of azides to primary amines is an important transformation used extensively in organic synthesis. l Some recent applications include the syn-thesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyles2 and carbohydrate derivative^.^ Of the number of methods available for the conversion of azides to amine^,^ the most promising involve catalytic hydr~ genation,~ the use of triphenylphosphine-water, 6 hydrogen sulfide-pyridinewater, I and thiols under ...
