Photoinduced Rapid Multicomponent Cascade Reaction of Aryldiazonium Salts with Unactivated Alkenes and TMSN₃

The first example of a photoinduced rapid multicomponent cascade reaction of aryldiazonium salts with unactivated alkenes and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) under oxidant-free conditions is described. This approach provides the synthetic route for a wide range of unsymmetric azo compounds. The compounds are obtained in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. This transformation is applicable to various aryldiazonium salts and...
