Abstract
An iron-catalyzed acyl-azidation of alkenes provides unsymmetrical β-azido ketones under mild reaction conditions from aromatic aldehydes or aliphatic aldehydes as the acyl radical precursors, TMSN3 as the azido source, and TBHP as the initiator. The synthesized unsymmetrical β-azido ketones can be easily transformed into valuable functionalized compounds.
