Vv. Zhdankin et al., PREPARATION AND CHEMISTRY OF STABLE AZIDOIODINANES - DO-3,3-BIS(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)-3-(1H)-1,2-BENZIODOXOL 1-AZIDO-1,2-BENZIODOXOL-3-(1H)-ONE, Tetrahedron letters, 35(52), 1994, pp. 9677-9680
Azidoiodinanes 2,4,6 can be prepared from benziodoxols 1,3 and trimeth
ylsilyl azide in the form of stable, crystalline compounds. These comp
ounds are potentially useful reagents for electrophilic azidonation of
organic substrates. For example, reaction of azide 6 with cyclohexene
affords 2-azidocyclohexanone 7 in moderate yield.
