PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ORGANIC AZIDES

摘要

PURPOSE: Provided is a process for the addition of an azide function to an organic compound. Where, an epoxide-derivative of the organic compound and an alkali metal azide salt react in a solvent to form an azide derivative of the organic compound. CONSTITUTION: The process for the addition of an azide function to an organic compound, comprises the step of reacting in a solvent an epoxide-derivative of the organic compound and an alkali metal azide salt to form an azide derivative of the organic compound, wherein an amount, near equimolar to the epoxide derivative, of a (1-6C)alkyl-(2-4C)carboxylic acid ester having a boiling point the reaction temperature is added to the reaction mixture before and/or during the reaction.
