Alkyl azides have been found to undergo an unexpectedly facile photodecomposition under mild conditions (laboratory light) and the reaction gives rise to small amounts of aldehydes and monoacyl aminal rearrangement products that can dramatically impact on the uses of azides in chemistry, biology and medicine.
