Abstract:

Organo azides are potential precursors for the preparation of amines by different ways of chemical reduction. In the present studies , a simple and more convenient method was developed to reduce to the corresponding amine or sulphonamide under electrochemical condition using sodium ascorbate as the promoter and platinum electrodes. The reduction was achieved with sulfonyl azides, alkyl and aryl azides with moderate to quantitative yields. Cyclic voltametry studies were carried out to study this electrochemical reduction.
