Abstract

Azidoethyl phenyl sulfide, a readily accessible and reasonably stable synthon for ethyl azide with acceptable thermal safety properties, was investigated in a preliminary design space evaluation of a [3+ 2]-cycloaddition with cyanoacetamide under continuous-flow conditions in the Syrris AFRICA flow reactor.
