Abstract

In an efficient Mn-catalyzed aerobic oxidative hydroxyazidation of olefins for synthesis of β-azido alcohols, an aerobic oxidative generation of azido radical is a key process. The reaction offers broad substrate scope, the use of an inexpensive Mn-catalyst, high efficiency, easy operation under air, and mild conditions at room temperature.
