Uses
Tosyl azide is used for the introduction of azide and diazo functional groups.[1] It is also used as a nitrene source and as a substrate for [3+2] cycloaddition reactions.[1]
Preparation
Tosyl azide can be prepared by the reaction of tosyl chloride with sodium azide in aqueous acetone.[2]
Safety
Tosyl Azide is one of the more stable azide compounds but is still regarded as a potential explosive and should be carefully stored.
gollark: I'm entirely accepting of moral standards which are reasonably reciprocal toward my own set and which don't do anything horrible.
gollark: Nihilism would be "nothing matters" or something.
gollark: We *will* destroy all plants.
gollark: Orbital nature lasers are already warming up.
gollark: And this seems too vaguely defined to be useful if you can just handwave any issue which does not in fact run on something like "balance" as being caused by some other imbalance.
