Conditions: toluene, reflux, 1–2 h (except for entry 1: CHCl3, reflux, 4 h).
Equilibrium ratio as determined by NMR analysis of purified allylic azides; compounds attained equilibrium over 1 week at room temperature.11
Ratio determined by NMR analysis of crude reaction mixtures.
The relative stereochemistry of triazoles 18a and 18b was confirmed by X-ray crystallography (Supporting Information).
Inseparable mixture.
