Photochemical Transformations with Iodine Azide after Release from an Ion‐Exchange Resin

Abstract

This report discloses the photochemical homolytic cleavage of iodine azide after its formation following release from polymer-bound bisazido iodate(I) anions. A series of radical reactions are reported including the 1,2-functionlization of alkenes and the unprecedented chemoselective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols.
