Abstract

Abstract Direct synthesis of organic azides from alcohols was developed. Azide transfer of 2- azido-1, 3-dimethylimidazolinium hexafluorophosphate (ADMP) to alcohols proceeds to give the corresponding azides under mild reaction conditions, which were easily isolated because the byproducts are highly soluble in water.
