An improved procedure for the conversion of alkenes and glycals to 1,2- diazides using Mn(OAc)3·2H2O in acetonitrile containing trifluoroacetic acid

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808007024

Alkenes and Glycals react with Mn(OAc₃)·2H₂O and NaN₃ in 9:1 acetonitrile-trifluoroacetic acid to give 1,2-diazides in >80% yield. Allylic azides are formed by slow addition of NaN₃ to a mixture of alkene, Mn(OA
