Azidotrimethylsilane

Abstract

(A) One-Pot Rearrangement of Carboxylic Acids to Carbamates: Augustine and co-workers have developed a simple and efficient procedure for a one-pot conversion of carboxylic acids into carbamates through the Curtius rearrangement by employing propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P® ) and azidotrimethylsilane in the presence of an alcohol. 20 (B) Preparation of α-Azido Oximes: Sukhorokov and co-workers reported that α-azido oximes could be obtained from aliphatic nitro compounds via interaction of N,Nbis(silyloxy) enamines with trimethylsilylazide.21 (C) Synthesis of Chiral Terminal 1,2-Diamines: A regioselective ring opening of aziridines with TMSN3 has been developed and the azido group and the double bond were reduced by LiAlH4 to give chiral terminal 1,2-diamines in high yields. 22 (D) Synthesis of Fullerenyl Azide: In the presence of a Lewis acid, the first fullerenyl azide compound has been synthesized via addition of azidotrimethylsilane effectively to a cage-opened fullerene derivative. 23 (E) Synthesis of Tetrazoles: Direct conversion of 1,3-diarylprop-1-enes into tetrazole was demonstrated in the presence of azidotrimethylsilane and 2,3-dichloro- 5,6-dicyano-1,4- benzoquinone (DDQ) using CuI as the catalyst at 80°C in MeCN. 24 (F) Synthesis of Triazolothiadiazepine-1,1-dioxides: Recently, a one-pot synthesis of triazolothiadiazepine-1,1-dioxides via copper-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition has been achieved in the presence of azidotrimethylsilane and Hünig's base (DIPEA). 25 (G) Azidation of Hemiketals: Azidotrimethylsilane is also used as an efficient azide source for azidation of hemiketals using molecular iodine as promoter. The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature to afford the desired glycosylazide as a single isomer in good yield. 26 (H) Oxidative Azidation of Aldehydes: In addition to the above cases, azidotrimethylsilane can also be applied as an azide source of reaction oxidative azidation of aldehydes in the presence of 1,3-dimethyltriazolium iodide, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and 3,3,5,5-tetra-tert-butyldiphenoquinone. 27. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
