	abstract = {<p>An efficient and rapid conversion of mesylate to azide under microwave irradiation has been carried out. It proceeds through inversion of configuration from chiral mesylates to provide optically pure cis-azides, immediate precursors of vicinal-cis-1,2-diamines. These diamines can serve as metal ligands in asymmetric catalysis and their derivatives can be employed as medicinal agents.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Carboxamides were obtained efficiently in high yields from azides on reaction with the corresponding pre-formed activated carboxylic acids in a single-step reductive transformation using hydrogen atmosphere (balloon) under Pd/BaSO(4) or Pd/CaCO(3) catalysis. The method is highly chemoselective and compatible with extremely labile functional groups such as benzyl carbamates, benzyl ethers, benzyl esters, and olefins. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
