Abstract

Iodine is found to be an efficient catalyst for the three-component coupling of aldehydes, alcohols, and TMSN₃ under mild and neutral conditions to provide α-alkoxy azides in good yields and with high selectivity. Allyltrimethylsilane also reacts rapidly with aldehydes in the presence of alcohols to produce homoallyl ethers under similar conditions. The use of iodine makes this procedure simple, convenient and cost-effective.

Key words

three-component reaction - molecular iodine - α-alkoxy azides - homoallylic ethers
