Iodine(III) reagent (ABX—N3)-induced intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation of unactivated alkenes

Anti-Markovnikov hydroazidation of unactivated alkenes using ABX–N3 as an initiator has been developed at room temperature, wherein hydrogen azide (HN3) acts as both hydrogen and azidating agent. Notably, the HN3 reagent was generated from azidotrimethylsilane (TMSN3) and acetic acid null in situ . The reaction itself displays broad substrate scope, good yields and excellent...
