Sulfonyl Azide Useful for Introduction of Azido and Diazo Groups

2,4,6-Triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl azide (1) can be used as an electrophilic azidation agent or a diazotizing agent.^1,2) When 1 reacts with a suitable base on a substrate containing a carbonyl group, an azido or diazo group can be introduced at the α-position. Recently, decarboxylative azidation reactions using visible light redox catalysts have also been reported.³⁾ For example, using proline derivatives as substrates yield 2-azidopyrrolidine derivatives.
