A traceless Staudinger reagent to deliver diazirines

Org Lett. 2013 Oct 4;15(19):5060-3. doi: 10.1021/ol402404n. Epub 2013 Sep 23.

Abstract

A triarylphosphine reagent that reacts with organic azides to install amide-linked diazirines is reported. This traceless Staudinger reagent reacts with complex organic azides to yield amide-linked diazirines, thus expanding the scope of the utility of both azide and diazirine chemistry.
