Research Progress of Aryltriazene as Aryl Precursor and Aryl-Azo Precursors in Organic Synthesis

Aryltriazenes have been widely used as a stable aryldiazonium salt surrogate in organic synthesis, in which the compounds show advantages of easy preparation, good stability, multiple reaction sites and mild reaction conditions. In this review, the recent advances in the application of aryltriazenes in organic synthesis as aryl or aryl azo precursors are reviewed.
