Abstract

A novel and useful method for the azidation of aromatic compounds by the reaction of hypervalent iodine reagent, phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol followed by treatment of trimethylsilyl azide (TMSA) was developed. The possible mechanism is also discussed.
