Abstract
Organic azides are widely used in organic synthesis. Continuous flow processing can be used to bypass their isolation, and can therefore be useful in mitigating the hazards associated with these potentially toxic and explosive reagents. Nonaflyl azide has been reported as an effective, bench-stable, and relatively safe diazo transfer reagent that can be useful in the preparation of azides from amines and so avoid the use of alkyl halides. Here we demonstrate the synthesis and purification of nonaflyl azide in continuous flow with isolation of the neat, pure reagent by membrane filtration. The neat reagent was used in the preparation of organic azides from primary amines, and then applied to the synthesis of triazoles. A variety of triazoles, including the antiseizure drug Rufinamide, were prepared from primary amines and alkynes via the CuAAC click reaction in a semi-batch parallel array without isolation of alkyl azide intermediates. A telescoped two-stage continuous flow process was also designed and demonstrated to form triazoles via the same CuAAC reaction, which avoids the handling of the intermediate reactive azides.
