An efficient, simple synthesis of 4-azidobenzaldehyde

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808003077

A three-pot synthesis of 4-azidobenzaldehyde from 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in overall yield of 71% is described. The new synthesis is superior in its ease of reproducibility and reduction of waste side products.
