A new type of azo precursor, ionic liquid-supported hydrazidecarboxylate, was synthesized and applied in Mitsunobu reactions. The developed reagent is recyclable during the reaction and reusable after recovery by the ionic liquids. The ionic liquid-based azo precursor in conjugation with PhI(OAc)₂ has been proved to be useful in the formation of carbon–oxygen, carbon–nitrogen, and carbon–sulfur bonds.
