The first investigations on the acid-catalyzed action between hydrogen azide and alcohols2 were inadequately understood and the identity of the products obtained was not rigorously established. It was later suggested that the reaction might be explained by a carbonium ion mechanism, but additional experimental data was not~ ffered.~ A similar explanation was demonstrated for the acid-catalyzed reaction of hydrogen azide upon olefins* and ...
