Sodium Azide → Isopropyl 5-(2-azidoethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium azide (697 mg, 10.7 mmol) was added to a solution of the bromide from step 2 (2.7 g, 9.7 mmol) in DMF (39 mL) at room temperature. After 18 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (300 mL) and washed with water (3×100 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic phases was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2.24 g (96%) of isopropyl 5-(2-azidoethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate.
