General Description

Azidobenzene solution can undergo click reaction with alkyne-functionalized oligomers to form O-ester-functionalized o-phenylenes, a group of aromatic foldamers with a good folding tendency in most solvents.

Safety Profile

Explodes when heated.Explosive or violent reactions with Lewis acids [e.g., aluminum chloride (explosive); sulfuric acid (violent)]. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
