Co2(CO)8 as Novel and Water-tolerant Reagent for the Conversion of Azides to Amines in Aqueous Media

Azides are readily converted into their corresponding amines using a catalytic amount of Co2(CO)8 under mild conditions. The method is highly chemoselective and compatible with a variety of functionalities such as halides, esters, acids, ethers, nitro, cyano and olefinic double bonds present in the...

Description
Summary:Azides are readily converted into their corresponding amines using a catalytic amount of Co2(CO)8 under mild conditions. The method is highly chemoselective and compatible with a variety of functionalities such as halides, esters, acids, ethers, nitro, cyano and olefinic double bonds present in the molecule.
