Procedure

A solution of 2-(5-fluoro-2-methoxy-phenoxy)ethylazide (3.97 g, 0.019 mol) and triphenylphosphine (5.95 g, 0.023 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 ml) and water (1.5 ml) was allowed to stir for 18 hours at room temperature. The solvent was removed under vacuum. Chromatography (ethyl acetate) removed triphenylphosphine and triphenylphosphine oxide and (25-50% methanol-ethyl acetate plus ammonium hydroxide) afforded 3.14 g (90%) of product as a clear oil. MS EI m/e 185 (M+).
