Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 0.6 g of 2-[2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl]-a-methylbenzyl alcohol and 0.65 g of triphenylphosphine in 10 ml tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. was added 0.39 ml of diethyl azodicarboxylate followed by a solution of 0.54 ml of diphenylphosphoryl azide in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The solution was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1.5 h. The reaction was evaporated and purified by flash chromatography eluting with 1:1 toluene-heptane to yield 0.27 g of 3-[2-(1-azidoethyl)-phenyl]-1,2-benzisoxazole as a colourless gum, 1H-NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3) dH 5.10 (CHN3).
