Abstract

11 I_ ArCHO+ RCHENH 111 I_ ArCONHCH2R ganic azides.'From a primary alkyl azide (RCH2-Na) and the conjugate acid of an aldehyde, apparently an adduct was formed which subsequently fied from the reaction in the prksence of sulfuric acid was a~ etanilide,~ obtained in 2% yield. A general reaction between alkyl azides and carbonyl compounds in the presence of a strong acid now has been demonstrated; from aromatic aldehydes the ...
