ABSTRACT
A metal-free PhI(OAc)2-mediated method for the synthesis of acyl azides through oxidative cleavage of 1,3-diketones is described. This method is shown to have a broad substrate scope, providing a useful tool for multiproduct synthesis in a single procedure. A possible reaction pathway is proposed based on mechanistic studies.
