Sodium Iodide → (R)-5-(2-Azido-1-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)ethyl)-8-(benzyloxy)quinolin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-8-(Benzyloxy)-5-(2-bromo-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)-quinolin-2(1H)-one (5.0 g, 10.2 mmol) was dissolved in dimethyl formamide (90 mL) and water (10 mL). Sodium iodide (1.7 g, 11.3 mmol) and sodium azide (0.7 g, 11.3 mmol) were added sequentially. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT until all the solid was in solution. The solution was heated at 80° C. for 40 hours then cooled to RT and diluted with water (300 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane, and the combined organic extracts were dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was recrystallised from ethyl acetate and iso-hexane to afford the desired compound, (3.6 g, 78%), used without further purification in the next step.
