Preparation of Stable Bicyclic Aziridinium Ions and Their Ring-Opening for the Synthesis of Azaheterocycles

4-Azido-methyl-7-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-6-sulfonyl azide
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(11)H(8)N(6)O(4)S, the plane of the coumarin aromatic ring is twisted by 17.2 (2)° with respect to the plane of the azide group bound to the methyl-ene substituent, whereas it is twisted by 83.2 (2)° to the plane of the azide attached to the sulfonyl group. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, leading to the formation of dimers with R(2) (2)(12) graph-set motifs. These dimers are further linked by weak S-O⋯π and π-π contacts [centroid-centroid distance = 3.765 (2) Å], leading to the formation of a layered structure.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
