A quick and efficient method for the reduction of azides to amines in water using D-glucose and KOH as green reagents is reported. The protocol is simple, inexpensive, scalable, and can be applied to different aromatic, heteroaromatic and sulphonyl azides. A high level of chemoselectivity is observed for azide reduction in the presence of other reducible functionalities like cyano, nitro, ether, ketone, amide and acid. The reaction gets completed in a short time (5–20 minutes), and furnishes the amines in high yield (85–99%). Unlike conventional hydrogenations, this reduction protocol does not require any metal catalyst, elaborate experimental setup or use of high-pressure equipment.

葡萄糖在碱性水溶液条件下促进将叠氮化物轻松还原为胺

报道了使用D-葡萄糖和KOH作为绿色试剂将水中的叠氮化物还原为胺的快速有效方法。该方案简单，廉价，可扩展，可应用于不同的芳族，杂芳族和磺酰基叠氮化物。在其他可还原的官能团（如氰基，硝基，醚，酮，酰胺和酸）存在下，叠氮化物还原具有很高的化学选择性。反应可在短时间内（5–20分钟）完成，并以高收率（85–99％）提供胺。与常规加氢不同，该还原方案不需要任何金属催化剂，复杂的实验装置或使用高压设备。
