1-Azido-3-methylbenzene

1-Azido-3-methylbenzene also known as m-tolyl azide is a methylated derivative of azidobenzene in which the methyl substituent is positioned at the C-3 position of phenylazide. 1-Azido-3-methylbenzene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylazides. Phenylazides are compounds containing a phenylazide moiety, which consists of a linear azide substituent attached to a phenyl group. 1-Azido-3-methylbenzene or m-tolyl azide is one of three structural isomers of tolyl azide where the methyl group is substituted at one of three positions (the o-, m- and p- positions) of azidobenzene. 1-Azido-3-methylbenzene is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-59259-947-9_2).
