The parent compound of vinyl azide 1 has been known for about hundred years when Forster and Newman prepared and characterized this compound (Scheme 5.1). 1 However, after publication of this first example of vinyl azides, these compounds were ignored for approximately fifty years. Perhaps, the multi-step synthesis of 1 and the assumption that dehydrohalogenation of homologous vicinal azidohaloalkanes may lead to mixtures of vinyl and allyl azides detained the investigation of the title compounds of type 1. Furthermore, the report 2 on the explosive properties of 1 could be responsible for the reservedness against vinyl azides. These compounds are indeed more sensitive than alkyl azides but more stable than acyl azides in most cases. Thus, great amounts of vinyl azides should be handled not as a pure substance but in solution if the number of carbon atoms does not exceed that of the nitrogen atoms by a factor of three. The only alternative method for the synthesis of vinyl azides already known in 1923 was the nucleophilic substitution of vinyl halides bearing an electron-withdrawing group in the β-position. However, this method was used at first mainly for the generation of azidoquinones as depicted in Scheme 5.2. 3–5 In the case of other vinyl halides with an electron acceptor in the β-position, the generation of vinyl azides is often followed by rapid liberation of dinitrogen and formation of a five-membered aromatic heterocycle. In 1958, for example, treatment of nitro
