Abstract
A novel two-step synthesis of β-trifluoromethyl primary amines from readily available α-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes and phthalimide is developed. The first step involves a hydroamination between α-(trifluoromethyl)styrenes and phthalimide (PhthNH) with the assistance of a base. Next, the hydrazinolysis of the resulting N-(β-trifluoromethyl-β-arylethyl)phthalimides with hydrazine hydrate affords the desired N-(β-trifluoromethyl-β-arylethyl)amines.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrate that the relationship between reactivity and thermodynamics in radical ligand transfer chemistry can be understood if this chemistry is dissected as concerted ion-electron transfer (cIET). Namely, we investigate radical ligand transfer reactions from the perspective of thermodynamic contributions to the reaction barrier: the diagonal effect of the free energy of the reaction, and the off-diagonal effect resulting from asynchronicity and frustration, which we originally derived from the thermodynamic cycle for concerted proton-electron transfer (cPET). This study on the OH transfer reaction shows that the three-component thermodynamic model goes beyond cPET chemistry, successfully capturing the changes in radical ligand transfer reactivity in a series of model FeIII-OH⋯(diflouro)cyclohexadienyl systems. We also reveal the decisive role of the off-diagonal thermodynamics in determining the reaction mechanism. Two possible OH transfer mechanisms, in which electron transfer is coupled with either OH- and OH+ transfer, are associated with two competing thermodynamic cycles. Consequently, the operative mechanism is dictated by the cycle yielding a more favorable off-diagonal effect on the barrier. In line with this thermodynamic link to the mechanism, the transferred OH group in OH-/electron transfer retains its anionic character and slightly changes its volume in going from the reactant to the transition state. In contrast, OH+/electron transfer develops an electron deficiency on OH, which is evidenced by an increase in charge and a simultaneous decrease in volume. In addition, the observations in the study suggest that an OH+/electron transfer reaction can be classified as an adiabatic radical transfer, and the OH-/electron transfer reaction as a less adiabatic ion-coupled electron transfer.

Abstract
Research published between 2001 and 2022 on the functionalization of remote positions of steroids, as well as the use of this technique in the generation of biologically active compounds has been reviewed. In the first section of the analysis established and novel methods for activation of sites deemed to be remote were reported. A series of manganese- (mainly), rhodium-, ruthenium- and osmium-centered porphyrins as catalysts in the presence of PIDA as oxidant have effected hydroxylation at C-1, -5, -6, -7, -11, -14, -15, -16, -17, -20, -24 and -25. Dioxiranes have been utilized in inserting hydroxyl groups at the 5, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 24 and 25 positions (tertiary centers for the most part). Alcohols at C-12 and -16 were oxidized further to ketones. The Schönecker oxidation, discovered and developed during the period, has revolutionized the selective functionalization at C-12 of steroids possessing a 17-keto group. In the presence of iron-centered PDP- and MCP-based catalysts, hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, substrates tended to be hydroxylated at C-6 and -12, with further oxidation to ketones often accompanying this reaction. The hypohalite reaction, utilizing the more modern Suarez conditions (irradiation in the presence of iodine and PIDA), was reported to facilitate the insertion of a hydroxyl moiety five atoms away from an existing alcohol oxygen. Steroidal-3β-diazoacetates tend to decompose on heating with di-rhodium-centered catalysts while activating carbons four or five atoms away. Chromium- and iron-based acetates were observed to functionalize C-5 and -25. Other reactions involving ring cleavage and halogenation, ketone irradiation and α-hydroxylation of ethers were also covered. The syntheses of compounds with marked biological activity from readily available steroids is described in the second section of the study. Cyclopamine, cephalostatin-1, ritterazine B and three polyhydroxypregnanaes (pergularin, utendin and tomentogenin) were generated in sequences in which a key step required hydroxylation at C-12 using the Schönecker reaction. A crucial stage in the preparation of cortistatin A, the saundersioside core, eurysterol A, 5,6-dihydroglaucogenin C, as well as clinostatins A and B involved the functionalization of C-18 or -19 utilizing hypohalite chemistry. The synthetic route to xestobergsterol A, pavonin-4-aglycone and ouagabagenin included a transformation where ketone irradiation played a part in either producing a Δ14 or a C-19 activated steroid. The radical relay reaction, where a 17α-chloro-steroid was formed, was central in the generation of pythocholic acid. The lead tetraacetate reaction was pivotal in the functionalization of C-19 during the synthesis of cyclocitrinol.

Abstract
C-N bonds play a critical role in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials sciences, necessitating ever-better methods to forge this linkage. Here we report a simple procedure for direct C(sp3)-H azidation using iron or manganese catalysis and a nucleophilic azide source. All reagents are commercially available, the experimental procedure is simple, and we can use the C-H donor substrate as the limiting reagent, a challenge for many C-H azidation methods. Preliminary experiments are consistent with a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)/radical ligand transfer (RLT) radical cascade mechanism and a wide variety of substrates can be azidated in moderate to high yields.

Abstract
A series of nonheme iron complexes, FeIII(BNPAPh2O)(Lax)(Leq) (Lax/eq = N3-, NCS-, NCO-, and Cl-) have been synthesized using the previously reported BNPAPh2O- ligand. The ferrous analogs FeII(BNPAPh2O)(Lax) (Lax = N3-, NCS-, and NCO-) were also prepared. The complexes were structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, which shows that all the FeIII complexes are six-coordinate, with one anionic ligand (Lax) in the H-bonding axial site and the other anionic ligand (Leq) in the equatorial plane, cis to the Lax ligand. The reaction of FeIII(BNPAPh2O-)(Lax)(Leq) with Ph3C• shows that one ligand is selectively transferred in each case. A selectivity trend emerges that shows •N3 is the most favored for transfer in each case to the carbon radical, whereas Cl• is the least favored. The NCO and NCS ligands showed an intermediate propensity for radical transfer, with NCS > NCO. The overall order of selectivity is N3 > NCS > NCO > Cl. In addition, we also demonstrated that H-bonding has a small effect on governing product selectivity by using a non-H-bonded ligand (DPAPh2O-). This study demonstrates the inherent radical transfer selectivity of nonhydroxo-ligated nonheme iron(III) complexes, which could be useful for efforts in synthetic and (bio)catalytic C-H functionalization.

Abstract
Disproportionation and comproportionation reactions have become increasingly important electron transfer events in organometallic chemistry and catalysis. The renewed interest in these reactions is in part attributed to the improved understanding of first-row metals and their ability to occupy odd and even oxidation states. Disproportionation and comproportionation reactions enable metal complexes to shuttle between various oxidation states, a matter of utmost relevance for controlling the speciation and catalytic turnover. In addition, these reactions have a direct impact in the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the corresponding metal complexes. This review covers the relevance and impact of these processes in electron transfer reactions and provides valuable information about their non-negligible influence in Ni- and Cu-catalysed transformations.

Abstract
Primary amines are derivatives of ammonia in which one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group. Ammonia serves as the primary nitrogen source in amination reactions, and its utilization in solution or as a pure gas has witnessed notable advancements. However, the use of gaseous ammonia remains problematic in academic laboratory settings, while employing aqueous ammonia poses challenges in highly water-sensitive transformations. Consequently, the search for alternative sources of ammonia has garnered considerable attention among the organic chemistry community. This comprehensive literature review focuses on the use of ammonia surrogates in amination reactions, irrespective of the resulting intermediate. The review emphasizes the formation of the C-N bond and underscores the importance of generating intermediate products that can be readily transformed into primary amines through well-established reactions.

Abstract
Empowered by the ubiquity of carbonyl functional groups in organic compounds, decarbonylative functionalization was prevalent in the construction of complex molecules. Under this context, asymmetric decarbonylative functionalization has emerged as an efficient pathway to accessing chiral motifs. However, ablation of enantiomeric control in a conventional 2e transition metal-catalyzed process was notable because of harsh conditions (high temperatures, etc.) that are usually required. To address this challenge and use readily accessible aldehyde directly, we report the asymmetric radical decarbonylative azidation and cyanation. Diverse aldehydes were directly used as alkyl radical precursor, engaging in the subsequent inner-sphere or outer-sphere ligand transfer where functional motifs (CN and N3) could be incorporated in excellent site- and enantioselectivity. Mild conditions, broad scope, excellent regioselectivity (driven by polarity-matching strategy), and enantioselectivity were shown for both transformations. This radical decarbonylative strategy using aldehydes as alkyl radical precursor has offered a powerful reaction manifold in asymmetric radical transformations to construct functional motifs regio- and stereoselectively.

Abstract
A Lewis-acid-mediated highly regio- and stereoselective chiral azidation of C2-substituted glycals is reported. This strategy provides excellent, scalable, and mild reaction conditions for the stereoselective introduction of the azido group at the C3-position of various C2-substituted glycals. The reactivity of the various glycals reveals that the electron-withdrawing behavior of the C2-group is crucial for C3-selectivity. The newly installed azido group was used as a handle for the synthesis of various C3-glycoconjugates and α-chiral azido naphthalene polyols.

Abstract
The new nonheme iron complexes FeII(BNPAPh2O)(N3) (1), FeIII(BNPAPh2O)(OH)(N3) (2), FeII(BNPAPh2O)(OH) (3), FeIII(BNPAPh2O)(OH)(NCS) (4), FeII(BNPAPh2O)(NCS) (5), FeIII(BNPAPh2O)(NCS)2 (6), and FeIII(BNPAPh2O)(N3)2 (7) (BNPAPh2O = 2-(bis((6-(neopentylamino)pyridin-2-yl) methyl)amino)-1,1-diphenylethanolate) were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as by 1H NMR, 57Fe Mössbauer, and ATR-IR spectroscopies. Complex 2 was reacted with a series of carbon radicals, ArX3C· (ArX = p-X-C6H4), analogous to the proposed radical rebound step for nonheme iron hydroxylases and halogenases. The results show that for ArX3C· (X = Cl, H, tBu), only OH· transfer occurs to give ArX3COH. However, when X = OMe, a mixture of alcohol (ArX3COH) (30%) and azide (ArX3CN3) (40%) products was obtained. These data indicate that the rebound selectivity is influenced by the electron-rich nature of the carbon radicals for the azide complex. Reaction of 2 with Ph3C· in the presence of Sc3+ or H+ reverses the selectivity, giving only the azide product. In contrast to the mixed selectivity seen for 2, the reactivity of cis-FeIII(OH)(NCS) with the X = OMe radical derivative leads only to hydroxylation. Catalytic azidation was achieved with 1 as catalyst, λ3-azidoiodane as oxidant and azide source, and Ph3CH as test substrate, giving Ph3CN3 in 84% (TON = 8). These studies show that hydroxylation is favored over azidation for nonheme iron(III) complexes, but the nature of the carbon radical can alter this selectivity. If an OH· transfer pathway can be avoided, the FeIII(N3) complexes are capable of mediating both stoichiometric and catalytic azidation.

Abstract
Nitrene transfer chemistry is an effective strategy for introducing C-N bonds, which are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and diverse bioactive natural products. The development of chemical methodology that can functionalize unique sites within natural products through nitrene transfer remains a challenge in the field. Herein, we developed copper catalyzed chemoselective allylic C-H amination and catalyst-free visible-light induced aziridination of alkenes through nitrene transfer. In general, both reactions tolerate a wide range of functional groups and occur with predictable regioselectivity. Furthermore, combination of these two methods enable the intermolecular chemo-selective late-stage amination of biologically active natural products, leading to C-H amination or C=C aziridination products in a tunable way. A series of control experiments indicate two-step radical processes were involved in both reaction systems.

Abstract
cis-1,2-Dialkenylcyclopropanes incorporating a vinyl azide, generated by Knoevenagel condensations between the corresponding cyclopropanecarbaldehydes and α-azido ketones, undergo cascade Cope and Winstein [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, under mild conditions. The sequence allows access to diversely substituted 1,4-cycloheptadienes armed with a secondary allylic azide with up to three stereocenters.

Abstract
A highly regio‐ and diastereoselective nucleophilic substitution at the quaternary carbon stereocenter of cyclopropyl ketones and cyclopropyl carbinol derivatives using TMSBr, DMPSCl and TMSN3 as nucleophiles has been developed. A variety of acyclic tertiary alkyl bromides, chlorides and azides were therefore prepared with excellent diastereopurity. The substitution occurs at the most substituted quaternary carbon center in a stereoinvertive manner, which may be attributed to the existence of a bicyclobutonium species.

Abstract
New ligands for the iridium-catalyzed C(sp3 )-H borylation of aliphatic compounds were established. In sharp contrast to 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine and 6-isobutyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives bearing a hydrosilylmethyl group (which would give a thermally stable NNSi pincer complex) served as suitable ligands for the reaction. Among them, a phenanthroline-based NNSi pincer ligand was shown to be an excellent ligand, and various aliphatic compounds were efficiently converted to the corresponding borylated products using the Ir/NNSi pincer catalyst system. The NNSi pincer ligand showed unique selectivity and enabled the iridium-catalyzed C(sp3 )-H borylation using pinacolborane [H-B(pin)] instead of B2 (pin)2 . The formation of an iridium complex bearing a quinoline-based NNSi pincer ligand from [IrCl(cod)]2 was observed, and the catalytic activity of the complex was demonstrated.

Abstract
The direct functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds represents one of the most investigated approaches to develop new synthetic methodology. Among the available strategies for intermolecular C-H bond functionalization, increasing attention has been devoted to hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) based procedures promoted by radical or radical-like reagents, that offer the opportunity to introduce a large variety of atoms and groups in place of hydrogen under mild conditions. Because of the large number of aliphatic C-H bonds displayed by organic molecules, in these processes control over site-selectivity represents a crucial issue, and the associated factors have been discussed. In this review article, attention will be devoted to the role of electronic effects on C(sp3)-H bond functionalization site-selectivity. Through an analysis of the recent literature, a detailed description of the HAT reagents employed in these processes, the associated mechanistic features and the selectivity patterns observed in the functionalization of substrates of increasing structural complexity will be provided.

Abstract
A novel radical 1,4/5-amino shift from the oxygen center of alkene-tethered diphenyl ketoxime ethers to the carbon center to achieve high value-added fluoroalkyl-containing primary β(γ)-amino-ketones is reported. Mechanism studies reveal that the migration is triggered by the alkene addition of fluoroalkyl radical derived from the electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex of Togni's reagent II or fluoroalkyl iodides and quinuclidine, and involves a unique 5(6)-exo-trig cyclization of the carbon-centered radical onto the N-atom of ketoxime ethers followed by a cascade sequence of N-O bond cleavage and dehydrogenation. Notably, besides Togni's reagent II and fluoroalkyl iodides, this protocol is also compatible with other radical precursors to provide various functionalized primary aminoketones.

Abstract
AbstractRecent achievements in triterpenoid semi-synthesis are discussed in this short review, which is divided into three parts according to the type of synthetic strategy being employed. These strategies include functionalization, modification of the carbon skeleton, and glycosylation. In the section on functionalization strategies, both functional group interconversions and new functional group installations on triterpenoid starting materials are described. The section on modification of the carbon skeleton is divided into three parts according to the tactic being applied, and incorporates rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, ring scission, and introduction of an additional heterocyclic ring. Meanwhile, in the section on glycosylation, notable achievements in the semi-synthesis of both natural and artificial triterpene saponins are discussed. Overall, the pivotal transformations that have brought about striking chemical structure variations of triterpenoid starting materials are highlighted herein, and it is hoped that this short review will provide inspiration to both established and new investigators engaged in this field of research. 1 Introduction2 Semi-Synthesis of Triterpenoids via Functionalization Strategies2.1 Functionalization of Rings with Functional Groups2.2 Functionalization of a Side Chain2.3 Functionalization of Rings without Existing Functional Groups 2.4 Functionalization of Angular Methyl Groups2.5 Functionalization of Angular Methyl Groups and Functional-Group-Free Rings2.6 Multisite Modifications3 Semi-Synthesis of Triterpenoids via C-Skeleton Modification Strategies3.1 Rearrangement Tactics3.2 Ring-Opening Tactics3.3 Additional Ring Introduction Tactics4 emi-Synthesis of Triterpenoids via a Glycosylation Strategy5 Conclusions and Outlook

Abstract
An intermolecular radical based distal selectivity in appended alkyl chains has been developed. The selectivity is maximum when the distal carbon is γ to the appended group and decreases by moving from γ → δ → ε positions. In –COO– linked alkyl chains, the same distal γ-selectivity is observed irrespective of its origin, either from the alkyl carboxy acid or alkyl alcohol. The appended groups include esters, N–H protected amines, phthaloyl, sulfone, sulfinimide, nitrile, phosphite, phosphate and borate esters. In borate esters, boron serves as a traceless directing group, which is hitherto unprecedented for any remote Csp3–H functionalization. The selectivity order follows the trend: 3° benzylic > 2° benzylic > 3° tertiary > α to keto > distal methylene (γ > δ > ε). Computations predicted the radical stability (thermodynamic factors) and the kinetic barriers as the factors responsible for such trends. Remarkably, this strategy eludes any designer catalysts, and the selectivity is due to the intrinsic substrate reactivity. An intermolecular amination at the distal methylene carbon has been realized in an appended alkyl chain with electron withdrawing groups. Traceless remote Csp3–H functionalization has been accomplished using borate esters.![]()

Abstract
Interest in therapeutic discovery typically drives the preparation of natural product analogs, but these undertakings contribute significant advances for synthetic chemistry as well. The need for a highly efficient and scalable synthetic route to a complex molecular scaffold for diversification frequently inspires new methodological development or unique application of existing methods on structurally intricate systems. Additionally, synthetic planning with an aim toward late-stage diversification can provide access to otherwise unavailable compounds or facilitate preparation of complex molecules with diverse patterns of substitution around a shared carbon framework. For these reasons among others, programs dedicated to the diversification of natural product frameworks and other complex molecular scaffolds have been increasing in popularity, a trend likely to continue given their fruitfulness and breadth of impact. In this Perspective, we discuss our experience using late-stage diversification as a guiding principle for the synthesis of natural product analogs and reflect on the impact such efforts have on the future of complex molecule synthesis.

Abstract
An in-depth study of the mechanism of the azidation of C(sp3)-H bonds with Zhdankin's λ3-azidoiodane reagent catalyzed by iron(II)(pybox) complexes is reported. Previously, it was shown that tertiary and benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds of a range of complex molecules underwent highly site-selective azidation by reaction with a λ3-azidoiodane reagent and an iron(II)(pybox) catalyst under mild conditions. However, the mechanism of this reaction was unclear. Here, a series of mechanistic experiments are presented that reveal critical features responsible for the high selectivity and broad scope of this reaction. These experiments demonstrate the ability of the λ3-azidoiodane reagent to undergo I-N bond homolysis under mild conditions to form λ2-iodanyl and azidyl radicals that undergo highly site-selective and rate-limiting abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the substrate. The resultant alkyl radical then combines rapidly with a resting state iron(III)-azide complex, which is generated by the reaction of the λ3-azidoiodane with the iron(II)(pybox) complex, to form the C(sp3)-N3 bond. This mechanism is supported by the independent synthesis of well-defined iron complexes characterized by cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction, and EPR spectroscopy, and by the reaction of the iron complexes with alkanes and the λ3-azidoiodane. Reaction monitoring and kinetic studies further reveal an unusual effect of the catalyst on the rate of formation of product and consumption of reactants and suggest a blueprint for the development of new processes leading to late-stage functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the landscape of molecular synthesis has gained major impetus by the introduction of late-stage functionalization (LSF) methodologies. C-H functionalization approaches, particularly, set the stage for new retrosynthetic disconnections, while leading to improvements in resource economy. A variety of innovative techniques have been successfully applied to the C-H diversification of pharmaceuticals, and these key developments have enabled medicinal chemists to integrate LSF strategies in their drug discovery programmes. This Review highlights the significant advances achieved in the late-stage C-H functionalization of drugs and drug-like compounds, and showcases how the implementation of these modern strategies allows increased efficiency in the drug discovery process. Representative examples are examined and classified by mechanistic patterns involving directed or innate C-H functionalization, as well as emerging reaction manifolds, such as electrosynthesis and biocatalysis, among others. Structurally complex bioactive entities beyond small molecules are also covered, including diversification in the new modalities sphere. The challenges and limitations of current LSF methods are critically assessed, and avenues for future improvements of this rapidly expanding field are discussed. We, hereby, aim to provide a toolbox for chemists in academia as well as industrial practitioners, and introduce guiding principles for the application of LSF strategies to access new molecules of interest.

Abstract
A catalytic system for regioselective C-H azidation of inactive anilines was developed. In the presence of CuSO4·5H2O, simultaneous addition of NaN3 and Na2S2O8 to aq. CH3CN solution of free anilines under weakly acidic conditions (pH 4.5) smoothly underwent C-H azidation to provide corresponding α-azidated products in high yields. Methyl α-azidoanthranilate obtained by this method was readily transformed via simple reduction followed by cyclization to methyl 2-ethoxybenzimidazol-7-carboxylate, a key intermediate for antihypertensive Candesartan Cilexetil.

Abstract
C(sp3 )-Cl bonds are present in numerous biologically active small molecules, and an ideal route for their preparation is by the chlorination of a C(sp3 )-H bond. However, most current methods for the chlorination of C(sp3 )-H bonds are insufficiently site selective and tolerant of functional groups to be applicable to the late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. We report a method for the highly selective chlorination of tertiary and benzylic C(sp3 )-H bonds to produce the corresponding chlorides, generally in high yields. The reaction occurs with a mixture of an azidoiodinane, which generates a selective H-atom abstractor under mild conditions, and a readily-accessible and inexpensive copper(II) chloride complex, which efficiently transfers a chlorine atom. The reaction's exceptional functional group tolerance is demonstrated by the chlorination of >30 diversely functionalized substrates and the late-stage chlorination of a dozen derivatives of natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Abstract
Vicinal trifluoromethyl azides have widespread applications in organic synthesis and drug development. However, their preparation is generally limited to transition-metal-catalyzed three-component reactions. We report here a simple and metal-free method that rapidly provides these building blocks from abundant alkenes and trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide (N3SO2CF3). This unprecedented two-component reaction employs readily available N3SO2CF3 as a bifunctional reagent to concurrently incorporate both CF3 and N3 groups, which avoids the use of their expensive and low atom economic precursors. A wide range of functional groups, including bio-relevant heterocycles and amino acids, were tolerated. Application of this method was further demonstrated by scale-up synthesis (5 mmol), product derivatization to CF3-containing medicinal chemistry motifs, as well as late-stage modification of natural product and drug derivatives. A two-component and metal-free azidotrifluoromethylation of alkenes is realized using readily synthesized trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide (N3SO2CF3) as a bifunctional reagent for both CF3 and N3 groups.![]()

Abstract
Manganaelectro-catalyzed azidation of otherwise inert C(sp3)-H bonds was accomplished using most user-friendly sodium azide as the nitrogen-source. The operationally simple, resource-economic C-H azidation strategy was characterized by mild reaction conditions, no directing group, traceless electrons as the sole redox-reagent, Earth-abundant manganese as the catalyst, high functional-group compatibility and high chemoselectivity, setting the stage for late-stage azidation of bioactive compounds. Detailed mechanistic studies by experiment, spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry provided strong support for metal-catalyzed aliphatic radical formation, along with subsequent azidyl radical transfer within a manganese(iii/iv) manifold.

Abstract
A wide range of methodologies for the preparation of organic azides has been reported in the literature for many decades, due to their interest as building blocks for different transformations and their applications in biology as well as in materials science. More recently, with the spread of the use of transition metal-catalyzed reactions, new perspectives have also materialized in azidation processes, especially concerning the azidation of C–H bonds and direct difunctionalization of multiple carbon-carbon bonds. In this review, special emphasis will be placed on reactions involving substrates bearing a leaving group, hydroazidation reactions and azidation reactions that proceed with the formation of more than one bond. Further reactions for the preparation of allyl and vinyl azides as well as for azidations involving the opening of a ring complete the classification of the material.
