“… 9 Due to this key importance, 10 a plethora of functional group interconversion strategies have been developed, exploiting inter alia organic halides, alcohols, epoxides, and aldehydes. However, more step-economical methods that directly install the azido-group into otherwise inert C(sp 3 )–H bonds continue to be scarce 11 and generally require stoichiometric amounts of strong indiscriminate chemical oxidants, such as persulfates, 12 N -fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI), 13 hypervalent iodine reagents 14 or photochemical 15 irradiation. 16 In previous reports on selective electrochemical vicinal diazidation of olefins, a metal-free approach was introduced by Schäfer in 1970 ( Scheme 1a ).…”
