A copper(II)-catalyzed conversion of organoboron compounds into the
corresponding azide derivatives complements existing procedures for the
preparation of aryl azides and will greatly facilitate copper- and
ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions for the preparation of
diversely functionalized 1-aryl- or 1-heteroaryl-1,2,3-triazoles derivatives.

Reaction of [ArN2][BF4] salts immobilized in [BMIM][PF6]
ionic liquid (IL) with TMSI and TMSN3 represents an efficient method
for the preparation of iodo- and azido-derivatives via dediazoniation. Using
TMSBr, competing fluorodediazoniation (ArF formation) and hydrodediazoniation (ArH
formation) were observed depending on the substituents on the benzenediazonium
cation.
