Synthesis of β‐Trifluoromethylated Alkyl Azides <i>via</i> a Manganese‐Catalyzed Trifluoromethylazidation of Alkenes with CF₃SO₂Na and TMSN₃

Abstract

Abstract A convenient and efficient manganese‐catalyzed trifluoromethylazidation of alkenes has been developed by utilizing inexpensive and readily available CF 3 SO 2 Na under mild conditions. The various β‐trifluoromethylated alkyl azides were directly obtained from corresponding allyl, vinyl, chain terminal and internal alkenes, and easily further transformed into other CF 3 ‐containing compounds. magnified image
