Procedure

To a solution of 1,3-diazidoacetone 7 (10 gms, 0.07 mol) in aq. acetone (20 mL water, 150 mL acetone) was added sodium azide (15 gm, 0.23 mol) and the resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 14 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and partitioned between water and methylene chloride. The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to obtain a residue that was chromatographed to obtain pure 2-azidomethyl-2-hydroxy-1,3-diazidopropane 2.
