Abstract

An efficient and selective azidation of aryl halides by reacting sodium azide with aryl halides is described. The heterogeneous nature of the copper(Ι) catalyst, which catalyzes the cross-coupling reactions, and the antiviral and antibacterial properties of the products are features of this methodology. It is also worth noting that no aryl amines are produced as byproducts under these conditions.
