Selective hydrogenation through phosphazide formation

Abstract

The selective hydrogenation of ketones without any reaction at the azide moiety is disclosed. A key factor in the success of the reaction is the formation of phosphazides and catalyst poisoning. Hydrogenation of various functional groups was achieved in the presence of phosphazide moieties, allowing us to prepare various azides despite their significant reactivity.
