Alkyl azides are widely used in many reactions. Although synthesis of such species is relatively well documented, fluorinated azides, especially with large perfluorinated or highly fluorinated groups, are sometimes tricky to make. The presence of fluorine in reacting molecules, sometimes causes significant changes in the reactivity of reacting species. In this paper we give a short overview of re-examination of currently available methods of synthesis of selected azides with highly fluorinated groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
