One‐Pot Synthesis of Carbamoyl Azides Directly from Primary Alcohols and Oxidation of Secondary Alcohols to Ketones Using Iodobenzene Dichloride in Combination with Sodium Azide

Abstract An effective synthesis of carbamoyl azides directly from primary alcohols using iodobenzene dichloride in combination with sodium azide has been developed. Moreover, the same regent combination was also efficient for the oxidation of secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones.
