4-Acetamidobenzenesulfonyl azide is used as a hydroazidation catalyst for facile preparation of organoazides. It is used as a reagent for synthesis of: monosaccharide-derived alcohols, a late-stage intermolecular C-H olefination, intramolecular isomuenchnone cycloaddition approach to antitumor agents, rhodium-catalyzed carbene cyclization cycloaddition cascade reaction of vinylsulfonates and Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reaction.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

- Diazo transfer agent. Recommended as a safer alternative to tosyl azide for diazo transfer reactions, in the presence of a base, e.g. Et3N or DBU, with active methylene compounds. A further advantage of the reagent is that the by-product sulfonamide is removable by trituration with water: Synth. Commun., 17, 1709 (1987).
