Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E) (2.7 g) in methanol (15 ml), lithium azide (1.65 g) was added. The solution was refluxed for 6 hours and left over night at room temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was extracted with three 15 ml portions of chloroform to give crude (F) which was purified by chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate as eluent. Pure (F) was obtained as a colourless oil. The IR spectrum (chloroform) showed strong bands at 2100 and 1650 cm-1.
