Abstract
The aim of this review is to summarize the available literature on the direct hydroxyazidation of alkenes, with particular emphasize on the mechanistic features of the reactions. The metal-catalyzed reactions are discussed first. This is followed by iodine- and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Finally, the available examples on light-mediated reactions will be covered at the end of this review.
