This work synthesized chloroformates by slowly adding alcohols into a suspension of trichloromethyl chloroformate, instead of phosgene, along with activated charcoal in tetrahydrofuran. This chloroformylation yielded chloroformates in near quantitative yield. The subsequent reaction between chloroformates and sodium azide in dry acetone produced azidoformates in a high yield.
