Decade advances of sodium azide (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021)(2022) have been summarized via mechanisms and target products. Sodium azide is commonly used as a nucleophile (N 3 À ) or radical source ( * N 3 ) in three-component reactions. It's reac-tions with alkenes, alkynes, RÀ X (X=F, Cl, Br, I, OTs, B(OH) 2 , BF 3 K, I + ArO À Tf, N 2 + O À SO 3 -SiO 2 ) and other electrophiles will be discussed.
