DYNO-MILL Mechanochemistry Enables Diaziridine-Mediated Access to Unsymmetrical Azobenzenes and Electrochemical Tetrazole Synthesis.
We report a catalyst-, acid-, and base-free strategy for activation of an N-N-containing diaziridine/diazo-derived framework enabling the synthesis of unsymmetrical azobenzenes via a mechanochemical three-component reaction in a horizontal bead mill (DYNO-MILL). The process proceeds through in situ formation of a diazi...
