Reaction Steps

Add sodium azide (12.5 g, 193 mmol) to a rapidly stirred solution of methyl 5-bromovalerate (25.08 g, 129 mmol) in DMSO (200 mL, anhydrous). Stir at room temperature overnight under N2. Add water (400 mL) and stir for 30 minutes. Extract with Et2O (×3) and wash combined Et2O layers with brine (×3). Dry organic layer over MgSO4 and concentrate to give the title compound (20.3 g, 100%).
