Green Synthesis: Novel method for Substituted Anilines from its Benzyl Azides

A unique and novel synthetic method was developed to generate substitutedanilines from its benzyl azides having ortho/para electron withdrawing group (EWG),and when these groups are at meta position gives aldehyde, instead. This approach isan inexpensive, simple, fast, efficient at room temperature. This protocol is easilyamenable to large scale preparation.
