Abstract

Sulfonyl azides are potentially hazardous due to their propensity for explosive decomposition under various reaction conditions. Polymer-supported benzenesulfonyl azide provides a diazo transfer reagent with improved process safety characteristics and thus offers an excellent reactant for laboratory use.
