Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

36 mg (0.55 mmol) of sodium azide are added to a solution of 218 mg (0.55 mmol) of (2S)-2,5-bis[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]pentyl methanesulfonate (Example Z7) in 15 ml of dimethylformamide and the mixture is stirred at 70° C. for 12 h. Most of the solvent is distilled off in vacuo, and the residue is diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution is washed several times with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The product is reacted without further purification.
