H. Tohma et al., A NOVEL AND DIRECT ALPHA-AZIDATION OF CYCLIC SULFIDES USING A HYPERVALENT IODINE(III) REAGENT, Chemical communications, (2), 1998, pp. 173-174
A novel and direct alpha-azidation of cyclic sulfides using a hyperval
ent iodine(III) reagent in the presence of Me3SiN3 is described; the p
resent method is applicable to substrates which are easily aromatized
under oxidative conditions.
