Procedure
16-bromohexadecanoic acid methyl ester is reacted with sodium azide in acetonitrile for four days at reflux temperature to give the corresponding azide (Zinic et al., Positionally Isomeric Organic Gelators: Structure-Gelation Study, Racemic versus Enantiomeric Gelators, and Solvation Effects, Chem. Eur. J. 2010; 16:3066-82).
