An efficient azidation of 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds led to tertiary azides in the presence of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI). TBAI is used as a pre‐catalyst along with aq. tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant in aqueous medium. This operationally simple, practical, mild and green method provides an opportunity to synthesize a variety of azidated β‐keto esters, amides, and ketones in good yields.
