Abstract
A newer method was serendipitously discovered and exploited for the synthesis of various aromatic azides. By reacting fluoro-substituted aryl derivatives with sodium azide under conventional heating in DMF and using gold nanoparticles as suitable catalysts, selective aromatic fluorine substitution via the SNAr mechanism was achieved. This approach led to the formation of some novel aromatic azides with high yields and shorter reaction times.
