Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe limitations. To this end, a team of researchers has developed an efficient method to prepare chemical intermediates having protected ‘azido’ groups. The team successfully synthesized several azides by the Grignard reaction, paving the way for the synthesis of a broad range of organonitrogens (amines and triazoles) for industrial applications.
