Abstract

Among organic azides, vinyl azides have attracted significant attention, because of their unique properties in organic synthesis, which led to reports of many types of research on this versatile conjugated azide in recent years. This magical precursor can also be converted into intermediates such as iminyl radicals, 2H-azirines, iminyl metal complexes, nitrilium ions, and iminyl ions, making this compound useful in heterocycle synthesis. © 2023 The Author(s).
