Fluorosulfonyl azide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula FN3O2S. This is a derivative of sulfuric acid containing a fluorine atom and an azide group. The compound is used as a reagent for transferring diazo groups. [1]

Synthesis

Fluorosulfonyl azide can be prepared by reacting disulfuryl fluoride (F2S2O5) with sodium azide in nitromethane or sulfolane. [2]

Chemical properties

Fluorosulfonyl azide is a diazo group transfer reagent. [3] It is suitable, for example, for preparing azides from primary amines in a click reaction. [4] Diazo reagents can be prepared starting from dimethyl 2-oxopropylphosphonate using fluorosulfonyl azide. If diazabicycloundecene is added as a base, the Ohira-Bestmann reagent is obtained. With magnesium oxide, the Seyferth-Gilbert reagent dimethyldiazomethylphosphonate is obtained. [5]

These reagents are used to convert aldehydes into alkynes. With the two precursors, such a reaction is also possible as a one-pot synthesis. In this case, an aldehyde is added directly and potassium carbonate is used as the base. [6]
