Abstract
We have described a one‐step, solvent‐free synthesis of α‐azidoketones from the corresponding ketones that requires relatively benign [hydroxy(tosyloxy) iodo]‐benzene reagent, sodium azide, and phase‐transfer catalyst at room temperature. Generality of the protocol has been demonstrated by synthesizing various α‐azidoketones high in yield and purity within a short time.
