Abstract

Acyl azides are usually prepared from acid derivatives such as acid chlorides and acid hydrazides. 5 There are a few reports on the direct conversion of carboxylic acids to acyl azides using acid activators such as ethyl chloroformate, 6a DDPA, 6b NCS-TPP, 6c triphosgene 6d and cyanuric chloride. 6e Aldehydes have also been directly converted into acyl azides. Various reagents and reagent systems have been reported in the literature for this purpose, and ...
