Reaction Steps

Sodium azide (3.14 g, 48.3 mmol) was partially dissolved in dry DMSO (50 mL), under nitrogen at ambient temperature. Ethyl 1-bromocyclobutanecarboxylate (3.91 mL, 24.2 mmol, Aldrich) was then added via syringe. After heating to 40° C. for 7 hours, the homogenous solution was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and stirring was continued overnight. The reaction mixture was then poured into water (700 mL), along with diethyl ether (200 mL). The ether layer was washed three times with half brine and then once with brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and then evaporated under reduced pressure to provide ethyl 1-azidocyclobutanecarboxylate (4.00 g) as a clear oil.
