The utility of the nitrogen extrusion reaction of azido complexes, generated in situ from the corresponding aldehydes or ketones with TMSN₃ in the presence of ZrCl₄ or TfOH, has been described. These azido complexes could undergo three different pathways, depending on the substrates. First, azido methanolate complexes or imine diazonium ions could lead to benzisoxazole products via an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution. Second, imine diazonium ions could also undergo either the elimination of proton to provide nitrile products in good to excellent yields or an aryl migration, followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic addition, to give benzoxazole products in good yields.
