General description

Benzyl azide is an aromatic azide generally used in copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions.

Application

  • Synthesis of Estrone Heterodimers and Evaluation of Their In Vitro Antiproliferative Activity.: This research investigates the synthesis of estrone heterodimers using benzyl azide as a key reagent, demonstrating significant antiproliferative activity, thus highlighting its potential in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis (Bózsity N et al., 2024).
  • Fluoride Abstraction Induced by Tris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorophosphorane: A Convenient Way to Synthesize Cationic N-Heterocyclic Carbene- and Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene-Ligated Copper Alkyne and Arene Complexes.: This paper describes a method for synthesizing copper alkyne and arene complexes using benzyl azide, emphasizing its role in innovative click chemistry applications (Riethmann M et al., 2024).

Monodentate phosphoramidite ligands are used to accelerate the copper(i)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and alkynes (CuAAC) rapidly yielding a wide variety of functionalized 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles; Cu(i) and Cu(ii) salts both function as the copper source in aqueous solution to provide excellent
