Abstract

A practical access to alkyl-and aryl-substituted (E)-2-(azidomethyl) alkenoates and related azido compounds from the corresponding allylic bromides in aqueous acetone is described. An alternative method to obtain the starting bromides based on heterogeneous catalysis under mild conditions was also investigated.
