Abstract

Nowadays, application of vinylazides as precursors is a key method for the construction of N-heterocycles in organic synthesis. These versatile three-atom synthons can be converted into intermediates such as 2H-azirines, iminyl radicals, iminyl metal complexes, iminyl inions and nitrilium ions that subsequently afford a wide range of polyfunctional cyclic nitrogen-containing compounds. In this review, the reactions of vinylazides leading to these products (in the last decade) are categorized based on the types of the resulting N-heterocyclic rings and a brief and concise description of the reaction mechanisms is presented.

乙烯基叠氮化物：多功能合成子和用于构建 N-杂环的神奇前体。

 抽象的

目前，应用乙烯基叠氮化物作为前体是有机合成中构建N-杂环的关键方法。这些多功能的三原子合成子可以转化为中间体，例如 2 H-氮丙啶、亚氨基自由基、亚氨基金属络合物、亚氨基阴离子和腈离子，随后提供各种多官能环状含氮化合物。在这篇综述中，根据所得N -杂环的类型对乙烯基叠氮化物产生这些产物的反应（在过去十年中）进行了分类，并对反应机理进行了简要描述。
