Abstract

A direct intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation method for unactivated olefins is promoted by a catalytic amount of bench-stable benziodoxole at ambient temperature. This method facilitates previously difficult, direct addition of hydrazoic acid across a wide variety of unactivated olefins.
