Various primary and secondary alkyl azides have been synthesized in high yields by the fluoride anion induced SN2 substitution reactions of the corresponding alkyl halides, phosphates, or tosylates and trimethylsilyl azide.

trimethylsilyl azide - tetrabutylammonium fluoride - alkyl halides - alkyl azides - stereospecific substitution
