Abstract

The reaction of 4,4-dichloro-1,2-diazabuta-1,3-dienes with sodium azide provides extremely rare 1,1-bisazides. These highly unstable compounds are prone to eliminate N2 to cyclize into 4-azido-1,2,3-triazoles bearing two aryl groups at positions 2 and 5. This reaction enables a highly efficient synthesis of various 4-azidotriazoles. These heterocycles are highly attractive building blocks.
