This was stirred for 30 min and then sodium azide (4.6 g) was added. This was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction was neutralised with 5% NaHCO3(aq) solution and the organic and aqueous layers were separated and the organic layer dried and concentrated in vacuum. Flash chromatography (100:0 to 50:50 gradient cyclohexane:EtOAc) afforded the title compound (6.5 g). Rt=1.52 min (method D).
