Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 146 g of [2-{2-(t-butoxycarbonylamino)ethoxy}ethyl]methane sulfonate was dissolved in 500 ml DMF, was added 134 g of sodium azide. The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 20 h, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in 1,200 ml water and extracted with EA. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was dissolved in 2,000 ml THF, to which was added 162 g of triphenylphosphine. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h, after which was added 200 ml water. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 18 h and concentrated to 500 ml under reduced pressure. Then the resulting precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was further concentrated under reduced pressure to remove THF, and washed with MC. The aq layer was concentrated to obtain 86.2 g of compd 42 as a liquid. 1H NMR (400 MHz; CDCl3) δ 4.96 (br s, 1H), 3.54-3.48 (m, 4H), 3.34 (q, 2H), 2.88 (t, 2H), 1.48-1.46 (m, 11H).
