Iron-mediated ligand-to-metal charge transfer enables 1,2-diazidation of alkenes
Abstract
Alkene diazidations represent a promising strategy for the synthesis of 1,2-diamines. Here, the authors report a protocol that enables alkene diazidation via iron-mediated ligand-to-metal charge transfer, providing a versatile platform to access structurally diverse diazides without using external oxidants.
